On April 12, 2025, at approximately 1:39 P.M., law enforcement responded to a domestic disturbance call at a home in Moorhead, Clay County, MN. The 911 dispatcher reported hearing a male voice say, "I'm sorry" and then the line disconnected. When dispatch called back, a male was saying that he was trying to get the mother of his child to leave his home. Law enforcement responded and identified the male caller as WILLIAM DAVID LUND, [DOB redacted], hereinafter "Defendant" and identified the female as the mother of Defendant's child, hereinafter "victim". Victim appeared distraught, she was crying and her face was red when law enforcement arrived.
