Just two arrests Sunday, both first-timers in our data. A 35-year-old was picked up for misdemeanor assault in a domestic disturbance on Rimland Dr in Barkley just before 1 AM, and a 24-year-old was arrested for DUI on Samish Way around 3 AM. No repeat offenders, no warrants served. The 7-day arrest total sits at 76, but Sunday's two brought the daily average well below the 30-day norm of 7.6.
