A 46-year-old Fargo man made his first appearance Tuesday in Cass County District Court on a felony charge he made methamphetamine in his car.
East Central District Judge Michael McGuire set bail for Forrest Edward Dunn Jr., no permanent address, at $5,000 cash or bond. The judge also appointed attorney Steve Mottinger to represent Dunn.
If convicted, Dunn could be sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Cass County deputies responded to a call Saturday about a suspicious person in a field near Argusville, court documents state.
Authorities later arrested Dunn on an outstanding warrant, and searched his car, where they found items used to cook meth, documents state.
