4 <br />Public Safety responded to the Lake Jones Apartments around 10:30 pm on July 12 for a <br />grease fire. The resident had deployed a fire extinguisher before evacuating the unit. <br />Firefighters confirmed that the fire was out and ventilated the building of smoke before <br />allowing residents to return to their apartments. <br /> <br /> <br />A female used pepper spray in her apartment on Silver Lake around 2 pm on July 14 in <br />an attempt to get her unwanted boyfriend to leave the unit. The altercation was verbal <br />only and no physical assault had occurred between the two. Officers cited the female for <br />creating a public nuisance by deploying the pepper spray in the building, which had to be <br />ventilated. <br /> <br />New Brighton officers assisted with a burglary in-progress at a residence in St. Anthony <br />around 4:30 pm on July 14. Two suspects were taken into custody. <br /> <br />Around 11:30 pm on July 15, Officer Sonterre stopped a vehicle for speeding and when <br />he approached the car, the driver suddenly fled the scene in the vehicle. Officer Sonterre <br />pursued the vehicle into the City of Mounds View where the suspect eventually pulled <br />over and fled on foot into a residential neighborhood. A passenger remained in the car <br />and was taken into custody. She provided officers with the driver’s identity; he was not <br />located but will be charged with fleeing police in a motor vehicle pending further <br />investigation. <br /> <br />New Brighton firefighters responded twice in two days to the City of Fridley for reported <br />dwelling fires. In the first incident, a fire nearly consumed a residential garage near <br />Totino Grace High School around 10 am on July 15; and then on Tuesday, July 16 <br />around 4 pm, a kitchen fire occurred in the Rice Creek Townhomes just west of Spring <br />Creek Drive. Both fires were quickly extinguished and New Brighton firefighters were <br />soon released from the scenes to return to their city. <br /> <br />Officers responded to an address in Windsor Green shortly before 7 am on July 19 to <br />check the welfare of an employee who had not shown up for work in three days and was <br />not answering the phone. They eventually gained access to the home and found the <br />resident on the ground responsive but unable to move. Allina paramedics transported the <br />victim to the hospital for evaluation. <br />
