CLARIFICATION: In last week’s Middlebury Police Log we reported that MPD had arrested Henry Romp, 31, of Middlebury on a warrant for his arrest. After being asked for clarification by Mr. Romp, the Independent talked with Sgt. Jason Covey who said that the officer did not transport Romp anywhere and likely didn’t even put him in handcuffs, so he was not “arrested” in the way people may think of an arrest. Covey explained that Romp was technically in police custody for whatever time they were with him, and he was not free to go, so in that sense he was “arrested.” Covey said, “It really is semantics.”
