$1M Bond For Man Accused Of Firing At Police In West Fargo

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A judge has set bond at $1 million for a Minnesota man accused of firing shots at police officers from inside a hotel room across the North Dakota border in West Fargo.

Thirty-seven-year-old Jan-Michael Wangstad, of Breckenridge, Minnesota, faces six felony charges including attempted murder. He could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted.

No injuries were reported in the Friday afternoon incident at the Rodeway Inn that ended with Wangstad surrendering after a 5-hour standoff.

Wangstad had his initial court appearance on Monday but did not enter pleas to the charges. He's due back in court on April 27. The Associated Press requested comment from his attorney Tuesday.
