At approximately 3:08 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3, the Red River Valley SWAT Team assisted The Fargo Police Department (FPD) and the Metro Street Crimes Unit with a high-risk, knock-and-announce search warrant at an apartment building within the 800 block of 17th Street South.
Due to the criminal history of the suspects, the Red River Valley SWAT Team was requested to serve the search warrant and safely apprehend the suspect. The suspect was located in the apartment during the search warrant. He complied with commands given by SWAT Team members and was detained by the FPD.
The SWAT Team utilized a Flash Sound Diversionary Device (FSDD) to create a loud bang and bright flash of light. The FSDD is used to distract suspects, allowing officers to perform tasks that may put them in danger.
