Fight Breaks Out at Maidu Center

Just before 10 p.m. on Sept. 4, officers responded to a large fight that broke out at a private birthday party hosted at the Maidu Community Center. One person was taken to the hospital with stab wounds, and at least two other people had less serious injuries, according to police. Witnesses were not cooperative, and the suspects have not yet been identified or arrested. The fight is still under investigation.

Hotel Stabbing

Officers responded to a stabbing at a hotel in the 100 block of Main St., at 10:43 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2.  The victim, a male resident of the hotel, was taken to the hospital with relatively minor injuries.  The suspect, a 40-year-old male from Roseville, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, and is in jail.  The suspect and victim know each other.

Vehicle Fire at Gas Station

At 9:40 a.m. on Sept. 4, officers and firefighters responded to a Hyundai sedan that, while being driven through the gas station parking lot, collided with another vehicle and then a gas pump in the parking lot of the Chevron Station at Blue Oaks and Foothills boulevards.  The Hyundai caught on fire, but both occupants got out without being burned.  The Chevron station and an adjacent McDonald's restaurant were evacuated while the Roseville Fire Department put out the fire.  The investigating officer concluded that the driver, when maneuvering through the lot past other cars, accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.  Alcohol was not a factor in the collision, and no arrests were made.

Assault Suspect Barricaded in House

At 11:20 a.m. on Sept. 4, officers responded to a situation involving an assault suspect who was barricaded in a residence in the 900 block of Portside Circle. The victim had already left the residence. Officers surrounded the house, and after almost three hours, talked the suspect into coming out of the house and surrendering to officers.  The barricaded person, a 35-year-old male from Roseville, was arrested without further incident on suspicion of assault and related charges, and is still in jail.  The victim and suspect know each other, according to police.

Between 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 2, an upstairs condo in the 700 block of Gibson Drive was burglarized-the front door was kicked open. A laptop computer and jewelry was taken.  A light-complexioned black male juvenile was seen knocking on doors in the same area of the complex the previous day. When someone answered the door, he said he had the wrong address and left, according to police.
