A difference of political opinions led to the arrest of a West Fargo man Monday afternoon on terroristic charges, according to Moorhead City Police.
At approximately 12:08 p.m., police were dispatched to the area of 24 Avenue and 8 Street South for a disturbance call, a police report stated.
The female caller stated she was driving southbound in the 1000 block of 8 Street South when the suspect pulled up next to her and rolled his window down, according to police. The male began yelling at the female expressing his dislike for the political bumper sticker the female had displayed on her car. He then pointed to his bumper sticker and further expressed his difference in national political views. The male eventually continued past the victim's vehicle, and once in front of her, he held up a handgun inside his vehicle.
Officers were able to locate the suspect in a nearby business. After seeing a box for a handgun in plain view inside the suspect's vehicle, officers found a loaded handgun in the center console during a further search. A passenger in the suspect vehicle also confirmed the actions of the suspect driver.
Joseph Schumacher, 27, of West Fargo, was booked in the Clay County Jail on two counts of Felony Terroristic Threats and Misdemeanor charges for having a loaded handgun inside a vehicle without a permit.
"They both had political figures on it," Moorhead Police Captain Deric Swenson said. "She had Elizabeth Warren sticker and he had a Trump sticker."
This is a breaking story and updates will be forthcoming.
