In the morning, a passerby reported smoke in the <br />area of Silver Lake Road and Silver Lake but responders found that HVAC units on some <br />area businesses were functioning normally and producing the hazy atmosphere. That <br />night, smoke was reported coming from one of the 7th Street NW apartment buildings <br />but it was found to be a dryer vent exhausting to the outside. <br /> <br />Officers responded to the parking lot of Highview Middle School shortly before 4 pm on <br />February 20 and found a female resident of the 7th Street NW apartments who had fled <br />her residence after her vehicle tire had been slashed and she and her father had been <br />threatened by her boyfriend with a knife.

She was located <br />across the street at the Speedway gas station in the driver’s seat of a vehicle that she had <br />just stolen. The female ignored verbal commands and drove away. Officers did not <br />pursue due to road conditions. Saint Anthony PD soon located the vehicle crashed in a <br />snow bank at Old Highway 8 and Highway 88.
