Erika Scheider <br /> Desk: 651-792-7213 <br /> Date: May 30, 2018 <br /> PRESS RELEASE — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <br /> Earlier today, a video of Roseville police officers' response to a domestic disturbance on <br /> 05/22/2018 was posted and shared on social media. The following information from the <br /> police reports is being released in order to provide context of the entire incident and <br /> remain consistent with our commitment to transparency and accountability. <br /> On May 22 at 2:12 p.m., Ramsey County Emergency Communication Center received <br /> several 911 calls on a domestic disturbance occurring at a residence in the 600 block of <br /> Highway 36 in Roseville.

In another 911 call, the person told <br /> dispatch they had just been assaulted, but the line disconnected before the dispatcher <br /> could gather more information. <br /> Two Roseville police officers were dispatched to the disturbance.

The officer approached the open patio door and saw <br /> the male and female, arguing and yelling at each other. As the officer was trying to <br /> separate the two, the female struck the male on the side of the head.
