Man With Gun at Courthouse Faces Charges | Fargo News

A Minnesota man, Roger Hellerud, 41, faces four felonies—including illegal firearm possession and threats of violence—after allegedly bringing a loaded revolver to the courthouse and declaring he knew where the judge lived. The incident began during a Zoom hearing where he reportedly threatened to “take out” the person behind an order for protection. Surveillance confirms he retrieved a revolver from his car before entering the courthouse. The next day, police found a .44 caliber black powder revolver and ammo components in his vehicle. With prior felony convictions for aggravated assault and child abuse in North Dakota, Hellerud is legally barred from possessing any firearms. He’s released on $150,000 bond but must surrender all weapons, stay within Minnesota and Cass County, and appears in court August 6.
