(Fargo, ND) -- Fargo police arrested a man Sunday morning after they say he crashed a stolen car into utility boxes.

Police were called to the scene of the crash near an apartment building near 42nd Street South at around 3:20 a.m., not long after a woman reported that her car was stolen outside her home. The suspect reportedly lost control of the stolen car when he turned onto 10th Avenue South and then crashed. In addition to destroying utility boxes, the suspect knocked out power to the nearby apartments and damaged a pillar.

The suspect was identified as Kevin Lafontaine (21m), and he was arrested on multiple charges.
