790 KFGO ^ | May 18, 2021 | Paul Jurgens

Posted on 05/19/2021 5:24:35 AM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

The FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office is conducting an investigation into the death that took place Monday in a courtroom at the Federal Courthouse in Fargo.

Following a guilty verdict and after the jury left the courtroom, 55-year-old Jeffrey Ferris of Belcourt, North Dakota used an easily concealable instrument to take his own life. Ferris died in the courtroom.

Ferris had been found guilty of reckless endangerment, terrorizing, and use of a firearm in relation to a felony crime of violence. The mandatory minimum sentence was seven years in federal prison. Ferris was found not guilty of eight counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.

The FBI will determine whether there was any violation of federal criminal laws. Any violations would be reviewed by the US Attorney’s Office.

The U.S. Marshal’s Service is responsible for security of the courthouse in Fargo.

The agency will review security procedures in the building.

Sounds like a win for the citizens of North Dakota.

I find it interesting how much they are NOT saying about him.

I wonder what he really did?

Court records allege 55-year-old Jeffrey Ferris drove a Jeep towards several children last year and assaulted someone with a handgun. He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment, terrorizing and using a firearm in a violent felony.

He was getting terrorized by youths and waved a handgun at them.

Taking odds on this being related to mom absconding with the kids and the authorities not doing anything about it, and him taking matters into his own hands and ending up in court.

This morning news out of Fargo leads me to believe that the guy was an Indian. His offense and home of record is Belcourt, ND which is deep in the res. FBIs and fed court handle reservation crime.
