The vehicles' occupants got out and started walking around the house with flashlights. Police dispatched to the scene discovered a real estate agent and prospective buyers. Here are more items selected from information provided by the Fridley Police Department: Nov. 30, 2011 Dec. 1, 2011 In all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation, and not evidence of guilt.
