Tuesday, Feb. 3
Police assisted Berthoud Fire at 211 Versaw Ct. Fire investigators said the fire was most likely caused by a faulty boiler. Two employees got out of the building without injuries.

Police had a busy day making traffic stops, with 19 logged. They also had four code enforcement cases in the Hillsdale subdivision and the day also included assisting at a motor vehicle accident on the interstate.

Police responded to a late night rollover accident in the 300 block of Third St. It was shortly before midnight when a 24 year-old Berthoud woman traveling north on Third Street hit a parked vehicle and rolled onto its top. The driver had to be extracted and suffered some injuries and was transported to the Medical Center of the Rockies. A blood test at the medical facility showed her blood alcohol content to be .358 percent. The Larimer County jail refused her admittance because of the high BAC and the fact that she was now wearing a neck brace. She reported that she had been drinking at different venues since approximately 3 p.m. Police took her to Island Grove Detox center in Greeley.

Friday was a relatively quiet day as the police made 10 traffic stops, investigated a case of vandalism in the post office parking lot and responded to two reports of juvenile problems.
