While responding to locate the male, we notified North Dakota State University due to its proximity. The responding officers were able to identify the male and learned he was on probation with a GPS ankle monitor. Officers set up a perimeter and tried to locate him.

We continued working with our partners at ND Parole and Probation to determine the male’s location (via GPS monitor) in the backyard of a home in the area of the 1400 block of North University Drive. Officers approached the male and arrested him without further incident. The male was arrested for two counts of Felony Criminal Trespass as well as Felon in possession of a firearm.
