Just before 10 a.m. Monday, the St. Paul Police Department SWAT team went to an apartment building at 89 Century Avenue North in Maplewood with a search warrant related to the Starren missing person case, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a St. Paul Police spokesman .
Police got one person safely out of an apartment, but two men barricaded themselves and one started a fire, Ernster said. SWAT members went into the apartment and put out the fire.
Officers removed a man from the home without incident. The other man fought with SWAT officers during his arrest and two officers were treated at Regions Hospital for minor injuries. Police took the man into custody and he was taken to the area for treatment for smoke inhalation and minor injuries, Ernster said.
Police continue to investigate Staren’s disappearance and are asking anyone with information to call them at 651-266-5650. Her family and the police are “concerned about her well-being and we want to find her,” said Ernster.
A previous missing persons bulletin, asking for tips on finding Stare, described that she had blond hair and green eyes; 5 feet 10 inches tall and 145 pounds; angel wing tattoo on her stomach with the initials “MS” and a heart; Lifeline tattoo on her shoulder and Mountains tattoo on her arm that says Keep Going.
