I had a friend get arrested, I haven't been able to get in touch with them. They are listed on the arrest log for Providence, and under the section where it tells you the law they were arrested for breaking, it says null. Not sure exactly what this means, hopefully someone can help.

If the column that says “statute” says null, chances are there was a warrant for their arrest.
Or they were arrested for narcotics and are awaiting results to confirm it was an illegal substance.
