[alp227]

FARGO – Fredrick Bohjanen Jr. of Grandin is charged with arson and several other felonies after a Cass County Sheriff’s Department investigation into a string of car battery thefts led them to witnesses who said Bohjanen burned down a rural farmhouse in order to impress a woman.

According to court documents filed Thursday in Cass County District Court, Cass County deputies responded about 9:40 a.m. Oct. 8 to a call about a stolen tractor battery from a farm in Erie owned by Robert Kyser.

Similar incidents had been reported in the area over the past few days, a Sheriff’s Department report says.

Kyser told deputies he saw Bohjanen loading batteries into a truck at his home with his father.
