Arson Suspect Arrested + Peach Milkshake Returns + Trivia Night

Good morning, Roseville!

Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Roseville Daily, where you can find all you need to know about happenings and news in our wonderful city!

In today’s issue, you will read about an arrested arson suspect, the return of the Peach Shake and trivia night fun.

Let’s get to it!

But first, you need to know about the weather:

This could be our last day for a while to enjoy temperature highs below 100 degrees. Ugh. We can expect a high of around 91 today, and a chance to cool down tonight with a low of about 62. Humidity should be around 32%. Winds will be about 5-10 mph.

Note: An Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for Thursday and Friday as temperatures are expected to reach 105-110 degrees. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities from 10:00am to 6:00pm on those days.

Today’s Top 5 Stories You Need to Know About:

1. Roseville police have arrested a man for arson in relation to the grass fire in the greenbelt area behind the UA Theatres on Saturday. RPD received a call with a description of the man suspected of starting the fire. The witness later made a positive identification of the suspect. (RPDFB)
2. Two people were arrested on Monday night for shining laser lights at a California Highway Patrol airplane. While Roseville police officers responded to the area on the ground believed to be the location of the first suspect, a second person began shining another laser at the CHP airplane. Both suspects got into a car, fleeing the scene, but were stopped and arrested by RPD. The CHP reports “There has been a significant number of laser strikes on aircraft this year.” (Fox40)
3. It was no ordinary “cat in a tree” situation when Citrus Heights police responded to a call about a mountain lion in a tree at a house on Verner Ave. Officers spotted the big cat, but it fled into a nearby cemetery before California Fish and Game arrived. Anyone who finds a mountain lion, or other unusual wildlife, in their neighborhood should report the sighting at https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/wir/incident/create or call 911 if there is imminent danger.

4. If you are not an avid reader of The Chicken Wire, Chick-fil-A’s official news outlet, you may have missed that the restaurant brought back its popular seasonal classic - the Peach Milkshake yesterday. This summer-themed dessert combines Chick-fil-A Icedream® with peaches and is topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Get it while it lasts! (TCW)
5. Seasonal larvicide treatments of agricultural areas, rice fields and marshes of western Placer County started yesterday to reduce the risk of mosquito-transmitted diseases. You can sign up for treatment notification emails from the Placer Mosquito & Vector Control District on their website. (PMVCD)

About me

My name is Kelly Mays Risse, and I have lived in Roseville just about all my life. I graduated from Roseville High School majored in Journalism at CSU Sacramento. If you recognize me, it may be from St. Clare Church, where I worked the past 10 years. Or maybe from the myriad activities my husband and I have been part of while raising our three boys here. I have watched Roseville grow from a cheerful little railroad town to a large and diverse city. I love where we live, from the hiking trails to the hip new restaurants, and the people who live here. I am excited to bring the highlights to you!
