FARGO (KFGO) – A man was taken into custody for a mental evaluation after an incident that forced a brief evacuation of Dempsey’s in downtown Fargo Friday afternoon.
According to police, officers responded to the 200 block of Broadway at 4:40 p.m. for a report of a man pacing in the back of a business, and who staff and customers thought may have had a gun.
Officers could see the man inside, but before they were able to make verbal contact with him, he walked out into an alley where officers were staged.
Police said officers gave the man commands that he followed, and he was taken into custody safely and without incident.
Officers searched the man and bar, but did not find a gun or any other threat.
The man was evaluated at the scene and then taken to a hospital. No charges were filed.
