WEST FARGO – A woman faces several charges after being arrested in a car-ramming incident that started just before rush hour Tuesday, Nov. 7, according to West Fargo police.

April Bergman, 41, was arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and driving under suspension, police said.

About 3:20 p.m., West Fargo officers received a report of a reckless driver in a tan car ramming and following another vehicle.

Police found both vehicles in the 600 block of 10th Street Northeast. The suspect’s vehicle was unoccupied, and witnesses said a female who had been driving ran north from that spot, according to police.

Police Chief Heath Janke said officers looking for the woman who fled established a perimeter in that area, near Hazer’s Auto & Truck Parts. At the time, police thought the suspect may have had a gun, Janke said.
