North Metro Police Blotter

February 8, 2010 in Crime | 1 comment

The police blotter for the North metro contains less meth than I expected, but just as much WTFness. Here are the funnier ones:

Blaine: “A man called police to his home in the 11200 block of Terrace Road NE. because he said his neighbor continually blows his snow into his yard and onto his privacy fence. Police spoke with the neighbor, who the report said declined to change his behavior and requested a ticket. The police issued a citation for littering.”

Coon Rapids: “Someone called police to report hearing seven gunshots fired in a hallway in the 1800 block of 105th Lane NW. Police set up a perimeter and entered the building. Officers found broken balloons in an entryway and believed that to be the cause of the sound heard by the caller.”

Fridley: “Police responded to a report of a smell of natural gas coming from an apartment in the 1100 block of 52nd Avenue NE. Police did not detect the odor of natural gas, but did detect the smell of dead fish. An officer advised the fire department of the findings.”

Mounds View: “Police responded to a call of a vehicle in the ditch in the 2600 block of County Road I. A 22-year-old Mounds View man was arrested for third-degree driving while intoxicated.”

    I met a guy once who had four DUIs, but had only been pulled over once. I didn’t understand how that was possible. They explained that three separate times he’d crashed his truck into the ditch, passed out and was eventually found in the ditch by the police.
