The FPD and Metro Street Crimes Unit located an individual identified as a suspect in an aggravated assault incident that took place in December 2024. Due to the criminal history of the suspect, the Red River Valley SWAT Team was requested to serve the search warrant and safely apprehend the suspect.
This collaborative effort resulted in the arrest of Paul Pelaez, a 36-year-old Fargo resident. Pelaez was transported to Cass County Jail for Aggravated Assault.
