Mostly sunny. High: 62 Low: 29.
Here are the top three stories in Reno today:
- Police are asking the public for help in identifying an arson suspect wanted in connection with a Reno apartment clubhouse fire. The fire occurred in the morning hours of Feb. 7 in the clubhouse of the Montebello at Summit Ridge Apartments off Summit Ridge Drive. It's believed that the suspect entered the clubhouse, poured the ignitable liquid on the floor, and intentionally set the fire. (KOLO)
- Two North Dakota fugitives were arrested in Reno after a standoff with police on Wednesday. On Feb. 16, multiple agencies responded to the 3600 block of Grant Drive to serve arrest warrants for Matthew Nason and Jaida Scaife — both of who were wanted on multiple drug charges. The suspects were taken into custody without incident after the standoff and were booked into the Washoe County jail. (MyNews4)
