FAIRMOUNT, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man suspected of setting off an explosive device in a jail earlier this week was arrested after setting fire to his garage and barricading himself in a house. The five-hour standoff ended without incident Thursday after a SWAT team was summoned from the Fargo-Moorhead area to help negotiate with the suspect. Police recovered weapons and possibly some more explosive devices in the residence. Authorities had earlier obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s home as part of the investigation into an explosion and fire Tuesday in the lobby of the Richland County Law Enforcement Center in Wahpeton, north of Fairmount. Fairmount is located next to the Minnesota border and about 10 miles from South Dakota.

FAIRMOUNT, N.D. (AP) — Authorities from several agencies are on scene near the home of a man involved in a standoff with police in far southeastern North Dakota. The man barricaded himself in a Fairmount house Thursday after setting fire to the garage. He has refused to talk or come out of the home, Richland County Chief Deputy Sheriff Gary Ruhl said. Fairmount is located next to the Minnesota border and is about 10 miles from South Dakota. Ruhl says the man posted a message on social media saying that he’s “upset over the whole world.” It’s not known if the man is armed. KFGO radio reports that the school is on lockdown and streets are barricaded for safety reasons.
