Memorial Day Weekend?

Seriously, if you think anyone in the criminal justice system gives a rat's ass about how long this took, you're very sadly mistaken.

If you're arrested on a Friday before a long weekend holiday, you'd be lucky to even get a bond hearing by the following Tuesday.

A holiday weekend is three days. 3 < 10. Try again.

Actually, no. Judges routinely go into jails over long weekends (sometimes over weekends) to conduct bail hearings. It’s both out of respect for the defendant’s constitutional rights, and to help ameliorate overcrowding.

I would say that part of the delay was deliberate in effort to cover up their bureaucratic bungling. You can be sure a ‘sanitation’ of what happened, a search for a fall guy and more than likely a full investigation Mr. Thompson was done in an effort to find some other charges they could hold him on anything from back child support to a missed court date 10 years ago for a traffic ticket.
