Update: Police use high-risk warrant at Fargo mobile home, suspect arrested

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – Fargo Police and the Red River Valley SWAT Team perform a high-risk knock and announce search warrant at a mobile home.

Twenty-five-year-old Deionte Prescott of Fargo is taken into custody after a two hour standoff at Countryside Trailer Park between 25th Street and 23rd Street in South Fargo.

The Red River Valley SWAT Team used a Flash Sound Diversionary Device to create a distraction for the suspect to allow officers to perform the mission that could have put them in danger.

“Prescott had outstanding warrants for possession of drugs with intent to deliver in Cass County. The theft of a motor vehicle in Clay County and fifth degree drug possession in Clay County,” City of Fargo Public Information Officer Katie Ettish said.

Prescott was transferred to a local hospital for medical clearance due to exposure to cold weather. He was then taken to Cass County Jail.

There were no injuries to Prescott or the officers involved in the arrest.
