Fargo Man Escapes Police in Stolen Car

A 27-year-old man named Johnathan Ortiz is behind bars after a high-speed, multi-day chase through Fargo that turned into a cinematic nightmare—he rammed police cars, tried to run an undercover officer off the road, and even drove straight at a patrol vehicle. When his stolen car finally broke down early Friday morning, he bolted on foot—but no officers were hurt, though police cruisers took a beating. Ortiz now faces multiple serious charges including fleeing law enforcement, grand theft, reckless endangerment, and felony criminal mischief. The damage to police vehicles is still being assessed, but the chaos and danger he caused are undeniable. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
