Although Huppe called the omission "a veryanomalous thing," HUPD has admitted to blotterblunders before.

HUPD Chief Francis D. "Bud" Riley announcedearly last month that his department had revampedits open log system.

Riley also placed Lt. Lawrence J. Murphy incharge of supervising the records in the wake ofomissions.

HUPD failed to report the Jan. 31 arrest ofJoshua M. Elster '00, charged with the rape of aHarvard student.

The department also failed to report the Aug. 1arrest of Sung Hoon Cho in its public log on theInternet, although the arrest was reported inHUPD's official log. HUPD has since removed theunofficial log from its Web site.

Last night, Huppe said HUPD will "get to thebottom" of the most recent blotter omissions
