Your complainant is William Case of the Moorhead Police Department. In that capacity, your complainant has reviewed police reports relating to the above-named Defendant, Cooper Angel Plueddeman, DOB, [DOB REDACTED] (22), and the allegations contained herein. Based upon that information, your complainant believes the following to be true and correct. On November 2, 2025 shortly after midnight, defendant and SLS were in the Moorhead apartment that they share. They have a child [NAME REDACTED] who lives with them.

They got into an argument about how much money the defendant spent on alcohol at a party they had attended that night. Defendant had six mixed drinks at the party, and some more when they arrived home. SLS wanted to end the argument, so she went to the child's bedroom and shut the door. A few minutes later, defendant went to the bedroom and picked SLS up under her arms, and dragged her to the living room. SLS was swinging at defendant and hit his nose as she was being dragged. SLS went back to the bedroom and tried to hold the door shut.

Defendant pushed his way in, causing SLS to stumble backward and onto a fish tank. This caused an injury to one of SLS's fingers, which was bleeding when police spoke with her. SLS called police, who arrived and spoke with SLS and defendant. SLS said that during the incident, "I got scared, I felt threatened." Defendant admitted that it might have been wrong of him to push the door open.
