FARGO (KFGO-AM) --A 15-year-old Fargo boy accused of attacking a woman at West Acres Shopping Center will undergo a mental evaluation. Police say he tried to rob and kidnap a woman last month. She says he flashed a gun and hit her in the head, causing a minor injury. The victim fought back and escaped.
The Cass County State's Attorneys office is asking that the boy be tried as an adult. A judge has ruled that the suspect needs to undergo a mental evaluation before that decision is made.
The teenager will be back in court once an evaluation is complete. The prosecutor anticipates that will be in about six weeks.
