Joseph Manitowabi pled guilty to three felony charges for his role in the assault, and will serve two years in prison.

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – The original video showing Joseph Manitowabi punching three Fargo police officers before making his escape – captured by KVRR’s Alex Bertsch – became an immediate sensation when it was uploaded on June 7th.

The Fargo Police Department, though, says this snippet only tells part of a multifaceted story.

They say that an officer in the city’s real-time crime center noticed Manitowabi with Jesse Galusha in the elevator bank for the Roberts Commons parking garage.

Galusha had an active warrant for his arrest, so the officer dispatched patrol to pick him up.

Manitowabi attempted to slip away – but police had already caught him allegedly smoking meth.
