MOORHEAD, MN — The suspect involved in a nearly nine hour standoff in Moorhead on Tuesday is expected in court this week.

SWAT and other authorities used flash bangs after he stopped communicating with them.

He eventually gave himself up around 6 o’clock Tuesday night.

Charges are still being determined.
