On June 11, a state trooper stopped a car near mile marker 124 on I-29 after noticing its reflective tint and found a homemade explosive device wrapped in electrical tape that later exploded while the bomb squad worked on it—two Fargo men, Gabriel Messmer and Christopher Ringsrud-Knowles, were arrested and charged with felony possession of explosives.

On Friday morning, an SUV crossed the center line on County Road 26 near Northern Cass School, crashing into a car and seriously injuring a child from Hope and a Fargo woman who now faces drug charges—authorities said a 54-year-old driver sustained only minor injuries and the road remained closed for four hours.
