Fargo man sentenced in feces assault on police

FARGO, N.D. — A Fargo man who tried to kick his own feces at police officers who responded to a party at his home was sentenced to serve a year in jail. Dennis Fike, 66. also must complete alcohol treatment or he might face another year in jail.

Fike was accused of defecating on a rug and attempting to kick feces at the officers last Aug. 28. His attorney argued that a handcuffed Fike had asked to use the bathroom and been denied.

Fike was convicted in June of attempting to contact a law enforcement official by bodily fluids or excrement and preventing arrest.
