Fargo, Cass County (trfnews.i234.me) — A Fargo man faces two felony charges after a struggle with police, court documents say.
What the police say happened
Rudolfo Santiago Reyes, of Fargo, was arrested after officers went to an apartment during a hit-and-run probe. The filing says the case began on January 31. Police were investigating a crash in the 200 block of Broadway in Fargo. The vehicle involved left the scene, court records say.
Court documents say officers later linked the investigation to a Fargo apartment. An officer knocked and told people inside to come out. Reyes later exited the unit, the documents say.
The report says Reyes shoved an officer against a wall. A struggle then followed in the hallway. Police tried to take Reyes into custody, the filing says. During the struggle, Reyes is accused of choking the officer.
More officers arrived to assist, according to court records. One officer used a Taser, but it did not stop him, the report says. Police then used a second Taser cycle. Officers were then able to restrain Reyes, the documents say.
The documents do not say if Reyes was tied to the crash. The hit-and-run review continued in the filing. Police have not shared a suspect vehicle description.
