4 On July 16th, squads assisted Coon Rapids PD with picking up a 38 year old New Brighton resident for fleeing the police for a misdemeanor theft. This party is well known to our officers and was taken into custody without incident. His father advised his son was to be civilly committed. The father showed the officers the paperwork. After conferring with Coon Rapids PD, it was determined that the party be held on a Transport Hold. On July 18th, New Brighton squads assisted the State Patrol with a crash where the driver had fled the scene. While checking a wooded area near the crash site, Officer Nerison located the suspect and was able to take him into custody without incident. The party was turned over to State Patrol. On July 20th, New Brighton squads assisted State Patrol with a rollover accident with severe injuries. Both parties were taken to HCMC. Officers Amberg, Xiong, and Kostohryz received praise from the State Patrol for their life saving efforts (2 tourniquets needed to be applied and Officer Kostohryz rode to hospital in rig). On July 23rd, squads were dispatched on a robbery where the suspects took cigarettes and cigars after threatening harm to the clerk. Approximately 4 hours later, Ramsey County was dispatched to a robbery where the same vehicle as the one used in the New Brighton was involved. The vehicle was located but the suspect in our robbery was not in the vehicle. While working thru their investigation, the suspect in our robbery shows up at the stop location of the Ramsey County stop location. The deputy recognizes the suspect from our robbery and detains him until one of our squads arrived and took custody of him. Public Safety responded to a reported hazardous materials incident at an apartment building in the 1100 block of West County Road D. A building management representative doing routine inspections encountered a unit filled with smoke and a strong chemical odor. It was determined that the residents had set four “bed bug bombs” to fog the unit in their absence. The employee was evaluated by Allina paramedics. As a precaution, firefighting personnel washed their firefighting turnout gear to rid it of any potential bed bugs. On July 27th, squads were dispatched to the 500 block of Old Hwy 8 on a robbery. Two young black males concealed their identity with a bandana and surgical mask outside the store. The clerk takes out the garbage and both enter the store. One of the suspects points a revolver at clerk who's now outside. Both suspects jump the counter and grab tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. They run out of the store into a gray Toyota Rav 4 with no plates and flee southbound thru the alley. No suspects or additional witnesses at this time.
