Fargo (trfnews.i234.me) – A routine traffic stop turned into a shocking felony arrest in Fargo on July 2nd.
According to court documents, Taurus D. Turner, a convicted robber from California now living in Fargo, was pulled over for speeding. Authorities quickly discovered he had outstanding warrants for driving under suspension and revocation.
But what officers found next elevated the stop into a major bust—Turner was reportedly in possession of a .45 caliber Desert Eagle pistol, despite being a felon, along with 23 grams of suspected marijuana wax.
Due to his prior robbery conviction, Turner is now facing felony charges for unlawful possession of a firearm and misdemeanor charges for possession of a controlled substance.
This incident raises serious concerns about how easily armed felons can slip through the cracks until caught.
