Moose on the loose in Fargo

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Law enforcement in the Fargo area have a moose surrounded at a local hotel.

Sgt. Jeff Skuza says officers with the Fargo and West Fargo police departments and the state Highway Patrol have the moose contained in a courtyard area at the Mainstay Suites in the western part of Fargo, and so far it has not caused any problems other than tying up staff. A total of 13 officers are on the scene.

Skuza says an animal expert likely will be brought in to tranquilize the moose.

He says moose typically follow the Red River, but occasionally they wander into the city. Skuza says Fargo-area authorities deal with moose incidents a couple of times a year.
