Good morning, Fargo.

Taste of Philly held its soft opening today across from Sheyenne High School and will have its grand opening later today — customers who mention KVRR get $5 off a sandwich.

A Fargo man named Larry Desjarlais is accused of purposely starting a fire at 1202 1st Avenue S. on Monday morning that caused $69,000 in damage and displaced residents, and court documents show he admitted using a torch for meth on his mattress while he awaits charges of endangering by fire in Cass County jail.

Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner explained on The Coffee Club today that his office assigns a designated officer with Narcan at drug parties to quickly respond to overdoses—he added that tighter border controls have raised drug prices as drugs from Arizona and Texas become less available.

On July 9 at about 5:30 p.m., authorities say deputies responded to a domestic assault call on Becker County Highway 21 when Todd Ole Burris, 36, from Bemidji—who entered a residence, assaulted a person, and stole a firearm—fled in his vehicle, pulled into a rest stop 10 miles outside Detroit Lakes, was shot, and is now stable at Essentia in Fargo while preparations are made to book him on suspicion of aggravated assault.

Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak met with eight constituents at her Fargo office on Thursday to discuss Medicaid changes, farming issues, biotech, and electric vehicles—one Mandan business owner raised concerns over Medicaid cuts and eligibility challenges.

Fedorchak explained that the reforms target wasteful spending while largely leaving traditional Medicaid services unchanged.

On Wednesday evening, the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks lost to the Gary SouthShore RailCats 4—1 as Orlando Rodriguez gave up four runs over seven innings and Brendon Dadson drove in the only run.

The teams will finish their series on Thursday at 12 p.m.
