Moorhead Police Assist Fargo
Police with Robbery Arrest
On March 13th, at approximately 6:28pm, Moorhead officers overheard radio traffic on the Fargo channel about a reported shooting involving a known Moorhead resident. Information given to dispatch at that time was that a female had been assaulted and shot by a female suspect. While officers were checking the suspect’s last known address, a disturbance call was received from an address in North Moorhead with the same suspect mentioned as a responsible party.
As three officers approached the disturbance, a car containing six people left and a witness indicated that the people in the vehicle were the responsible parties. With the information provided involving a handgun and the report of the same female suspected in a second disturbance, a high risk traffic stop was conducted in the 700 block of 11 St N with the assistance of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. In the interest of public safety, 11th St N was closed off for a brief period until all occupants of the vehicle were removed safely and identified.
Through simultaneous investigations by both Moorhead and Fargo Police Departments, the female suspect, Cynthia Butcher (33) was arrested for robbery (felony) at the request of Fargo Police. She is currently being held in the Clay County Jail. The driver of the vehicle, Ronald Butcher (37) was cited and released for driving after revocation.
