"A Fargo man is charged with felony terrorizing after he allegedly told a Cass County deputy that his connections in “the cartel” would come after the deputy and his family after he was pulled over for driving drunk on a flat tire." - Jessie

"According to court documents, Deputy Chad Thompson heard a report early Saturday morning on state radio of an eastbound vehicle on Interstate 94 near I-29 that was being driven with a flat tire and had nearly hit another car. The driver was reckless and possibly impaired, the deputy heard. Six minutes later, at 3:49 a.m., the deputy spotted a pickup with heavy front- and rear-end damage parked on the on-ramp to I-94 near 25th Street with two other vehicles. When the deputy pulled over to talk to the man standing beside the pickup, Cookson fled on foot. He tried to climb over a fence and fell before Thompson detained him, court documents say. The people inside the other two vehicles told Thompson that Cookson had nearly hit their car and a couple of others. Court documents say Cookson would not acknowledge the deputy’s question about whether he would take a field sobriety test. Instead, he insisted Thompson had never actually seen him driving, then said his father worked for “the cartel.”" - Jessie

"Court documents say Cookson told Thompson he “picked on the wrong Mexican boy” and that he would tell his father what Thompson had done, and that his father and girlfriend would find Thompson, his wife and their family. Cookson appeared highly intoxicated, court documents say, with badly slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, poor balance and a strong smell of alcohol." - Jessie
