Fargo’s Damron Back Behind Bars; Accused of Burning Down Eagan Building

A former Fargo man convicted of knocking out power and phone service in 1995 is headed back to prison.

Michael Damron of Prior Lake has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for burning down the historic city hall in Eagan, Minnesota.

Prosecutors say Damron was upset with Eagan officials because of a prior criminal investigation that involved multiple thefts.

He spent eight years in prison for cutting underground phone cables to disable an alarm at Site on Sound in Fargo in 1995.

Damron’s cable-cutting incident caused $1 million in damage.
