FARGO (KFGO) – The Fargo Police Department received a report of a man physically assaulting two people in a home in the 1000 block of Monte Carlo Drive At 11:21 p.m. on Saturday, August 17. The two people, both adults, were able to escape the home before officers arrived.
Upon arrival, officers learned the suspect was still in the home. The two victims told police that the suspect, identified as Frankie Moran, had made threats to shoot officers if they entered the home.
Using a public address (PA) system, the FPD announced their presence and repeatedly ordered Moran to exit the home. Moran refused to obey officers’ orders.
The Red River Valley SWAT Team was called to the scene to assist with removing Moran from the home. SWAT negotiators made contact with Moran in an attempt to bring the situation to a peaceful resolution, but he refused to cooperate. At approximately 5:15 a.m. on Sunday, August 18, SWAT officers utilized a chemical irritant to remove Moran from the home and took him into custody without incident.
Moran, a 35-year-old Fargo resident, was arrested for two counts of aggravated assault. He is being held at the Cass County Jail. This is an ongoing investigation; no further information is available at this time.
