What SWAT teams do<\/h2>\n

SWAT teams are used for high-risk calls and higher-risk warrant service.<\/p>\n

They can help secure a scene and reduce risk to the public.<\/p>\n

Police did not say why SWAT was used in this case.<\/p>\n

What \u201cfailure to appear\u201d can mean<\/h2>\n

A failure to appear warrant is issued when a person misses a required court hearing.<\/p>\n

Courts can issue these warrants in criminal and traffic cases.<\/p>\n

A warrant can lead to arrest during a later police contact.<\/p>\n

It can also lead to jail until a judge reviews the case.<\/p>\n

What we don\u2019t know yet<\/h2>\n

Police have not said if anyone else was sought at the address.<\/p>\n

They have not said if any items were taken as evidence.<\/p>\n

No new charges have been announced from the search warrant.<\/p>\n

As with any case, the allegations remain unproven in court.<\/p>\n

Where to follow official updates<\/h2>\n

Updates may be posted by the Fargo Police Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Background on the regional team is on the city\u2019s SWAT page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Warrant information is also handled by the Cass County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Public case records, when available, can be searched through North Dakota Courts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
