Man Arrested After Hatchet Attack | Fargo News

A 49-year-old man named Jesus Octavio Peralta is facing felony charges after allegedly storming a home in Red Lake County with a hatchet, chasing one person out and trapping a woman inside while swinging the weapon. Deputies responded to a 11:36 PM call, where the victim described being terrified as Peralta smashed through a door, threatened her with the hatchet, and blocked the exit. The woman claimed he was enraged over their divorce and that he’d deleted doorbell footage of the attack. Officers later found a matching hatchet in his truck and arrested him without incident. Initially denying involvement, Peralta eventually admitted to being there and handling the weapon, now sitting in custody as the case progresses.
