East Metro Public Safety Roundup: Deputy Charged, School Board Director Arrested, Fatal Crash

The Roseville Police Department this past week received several calls about thefts with a few others involving complaints about disorderly conduct and narcotics.

With winter dumping four inches of snow on the Twin Cities on Feb. 21 and 22, the Roseville Police Department issued more than 60 citations for "snowbird" violations. 

Police issued those tickets to residents who failed to get their cars off city streets so municipal truck crews could go about their snowplowing. 

A Roseville ordinance says:

•  "No person shall park any vehicle, except in compliance with directions of a police officer or in compliance with regulatory parking signs, on any street for a period of 48 hours commencing immediately after any two inches or more continuous snowfall or until snow removal has been completed on any street, whichever occurs first. "
