Fargo, Cass County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Valley City man faces a felony theft charge in Fargo.<\/p>\n

Authorities have charged Jackson Paul Mulder with felony theft of property, according to court records.<\/p>\n

The case involves a pickup owned by Mulder\u2019s grandfather, the records say.<\/p>\n

Pickup Reported Stolen<\/h2>\n

Charging documents say the theft happened in September 2025.<\/p>\n

Police say Mulder took the pickup from a Fargo parking lot.<\/p>\n

Investigators later listed the truck as stolen, the documents say.<\/p>\n

Court records do not list the grandfather\u2019s name in the summary.<\/p>\n

They also do not describe how Mulder allegedly got the keys.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop and Search<\/h2>\n

Officers later located the pickup in Fargo, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Police tried to stop the truck, the documents say.<\/p>\n

The pickup drove away, and officers lost sight of it.<\/p>\n

The filing does not say how long the truck was out of view.<\/p>\n

Police later recovered the pickup, according to the court document.<\/p>\n

The document does not list damage to the truck.<\/p>\n

Arrest and Felony Charge<\/h2>\n

Mulder was later arrested and booked, court records show.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors filed a felony theft count tied to the reported pickup theft.<\/p>\n

Felony theft is a serious charge under North Dakota law.<\/p>\n

Possible penalties can include prison time and fines.<\/p>\n

Sentencing depends on the facts and the property value.<\/p>\n

That value was not listed in the short public case description.<\/p>\n

What Happens Next<\/h2>\n

Mulder is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Future hearings may address bail, evidence, and any plea talks.<\/p>\n

A judge could also set deadlines for motions and trial dates.<\/p>\n

Some cases end with a plea deal.<\/p>\n

Others go to a jury trial.<\/p>\n

How to Follow the Case<\/h2>\n

Readers can track filings using the North Dakota Courts public search.<\/p>\n

Updates may also appear through the Fargo Police Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

State law resources are available from the North Dakota Legislative Assembly<\/a>.<\/p>\n
