FARGO — Police have arrested a 24-year-old in connection to a string of vandalisms in downtown Fargo that caused nearly $10,000 in damage.

Marshal Taylor Slater was booked Friday, Sept. 3, into the Cass County Jail on suspicion of criminal mischief. The charge, which was filed Friday afternoon in Cass County District Court, stems from reports that six businesses along the 600 block of Main Avenue were vandalized Aug. 18, according to a news release issued Friday by the Fargo Police Department.

Salon DUO, Carmine and Hayworth Vintage, Reed and Taylor Antiques, Wimmers Diamonds, Nichole's Fine Pastry and Cafe and Rhombus Guys reported broken windows. The Island Park parking ramp also was a target.

A camera caught a white man dressed in black walking down Main Avenue around 2 a.m. the same day. Police said they used that video to help identify the person believed to be responsible for smashing the windows.
