4 <br />Around 8:15 am on Saturday, May 18, a resident of 16th Avenue SW was making <br />breakfast for his family and heard the garage door go up. He went to investigate and saw <br />a male leaving under a half-open garage door carrying one of his children’s baseball bats. <br />The homeowner grabbed a bat and chased the suspects who were in a gray Honda Civic <br />with stolen plates (out of Maplewood). The homeowner broke the windshield and the <br />driver side headlight lens with the bat as the three males fled. Around 3:15 am Monday <br />morning, May 20, Maplewood Police reported that they had located the vehicle and had <br />arrested two suspects for charges unrelated to the New Brighton incident. <br /> <br />Public Safety responded to 10th Street NW just east of the Community Center on <br />Sunday, May 19, around 3:15 pm on a tree branch sparking on a power line. The <br />roadway was temporarily closed while the arcing continued until the wire eventually <br />broke and fell to the ground along with the tree. Xcel Energy responded to repair the <br />line. Power was out to the neighborhood including several traffic lights for a short time. <br /> <br />A 14-year old and a parent came to the Public Safety Center on Sunday, May 19, to <br />report an armed robbery that occurred at gunpoint the previous evening near Irondale <br />High School. Investigation determined that the incident occurred in Mounds View and <br />their officers handled the case. <br /> <br />Shortly after midnight on Thursday, May 23, officers responded to the 600 block of 19th <br />Avenue NW on report of a vehicle rollover in the middle of the street after it had struck a <br />parked car. The occupants fled from the scene but the passenger was located nearby and <br />eventually identified the driver of the vehicle who was also found by officers and arrested <br />for Criminal Vehicular Operation and 3rd Degree DWI due to his level of intoxication <br />and injuries suffered by the passenger. A search warrant was obtained and an evidentiary <br />blood sample was taken from the suspect. <br /> <br />New Brighton officers assisted with establishing a perimeter west of the Mermaid on <br />Friday, May 24, when three occupants fled from a stolen vehicle after Mounds View <br />officers had been in a pursuit with the vehicle. Two suspects were eventually taken into <br />custody. <br /> <br />Shortly before 1:30 am on Saturday, May 25, New Brighton officers assisted Roseville <br />Police with a high-risk traffic stop of a reported stolen vehicle on I-35W just north of <br />County Road D. The three occupants of the vehicle were taken into custody without <br />incident. <br /> <br />New Brighton officers assisted Minnesota State Troopers with an injury crash involving a <br />vehicle versus deer on I-35W at County Road D around 8:30 am on Saturday, May 25. <br />Several passersby reported the vehicle occupant was lying on the ground and in need of <br />medical attention. <br /> <br />On Sunday, May 26 around 2:15 pm, police officers and firefighters responded to the <br />Dollar Tree on report of a vehicle that had been driven through the front windows of the <br />building. The 90-year old driver stated that he stepped on the gas pedal instead of the <br />brake. Nobody was injured. The window frame was bent and the glass shattered but the <br />vehicle did not enter the store. <br />
