Here are the stories keeping our reporters busy Friday:

* A couple narrowly escaped the fire that demolished their home before dawn Friday. We had a reporter and photographer at the scene.

* It was just before last call at a local bar when a woman walked up to another patron and slammed a glass into her face, police say.

* An alleged thief was nabbed clad in only his underwear and hiding among boxes in his mother’s attic.

* The whiff of marijuana on a man paying a fine at a judge's office drew police and ended in more charges, they say.

Look for these tales and more in Saturday's Press Enterprise.
