Earlier today (Tuesday) in this space, based on information from Fargo police, the Fuzz reported that a 23-year-old Fargo man who allegedly entered a hotel room that wasn’t his and spooked the female guest inside at Fargo’s Doublewood Inn was tailed to a gas station by hotel security and tackled. However, the security firm for the hotel says it was the woman’s boyfriend, not their staff, who chased down the suspect.
Police responded at 2:42 a.m. and arrested the suspect on suspicion of criminal trespassing. Turns out he wasn’t staying at the hotel but had been walking around the pool area and allegedly entered the woman’s room through her unlocked, poolside sliding glass door, Sgt. Mark Lykken said.
The woman told police she’d been waiting for her boyfriend to get to the room, Lykken said. When the stranger entered, she left the room and notified security.
Unfortunately, the new dispatch system still isn’t kicking out a detailed daily briefing of police calls (which makes us that much more reliant on what police will tell us; see previous post), so this is all you get.

That’s it for today.
Mike, before you post a story, make sure you get your facts right such that you don’t put other people’s jobs at risk. Honestly, careers are literally at stake here (and if it was yours, you would understand how important and signifigant that is)… report facts, period.
