Fargo, North Dakota (trfnews.i234.me) — A Fargo man, Stanley James Dumpson, is facing serious felony charges after allegedly breaking into a home, stealing thousands in cash and collectibles, and being caught in possession of meth and a firearm.
According to court documents, Dumpson is accused of breaking a basement window to enter a Fargo residence, where he allegedly stole $1,700 in cash and 500 collectible quarters.
Investigators were able to identify Dumpson through security footage, which led to his arrest. During the arrest, he was found in possession of both methamphetamine and a firearm — which he is prohibited from owning due to a prior felony conviction.
He now faces three felony charges:
-
Burglary
-
Possession of Methamphetamine
-
Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon
