Moorhead man arrested for arson

A Moorhead man is in custody for suspected arson following a standoff over the weekend.
The Moorhead Fire Department and the Moorhead Police Department responded to an active fire on Saturday around 1:30 p.m. Upon arrival officers spotted the suspect run back into the burning home. The male later emerged on the roof of the structure. While the fire department was actively fighting the blaze the man refused to come down and threatened to jump if anyone approached.
During the investigation it was determined the male had been involved in a disturbance with a female who lived in the home.
With the assistance of the Red River Valley SWAT Negotiators the suspect was taken into custody around 9:00 p.m. 41-year old Sean Ahrenholtz is currently being held at the Clay County Corrections Facility on charges for Felony 1st Degree Arson, False Imprisonment, 3rd Degree Assault, and 5th Degree Domestic Assault.
No one was injured during this incident.
