Charles Dalzell, 46, of St. Thomas tried to retrieve a confiscated firearm from the sheriff’s office days before his arrest by video from Grand Forks County jail at the federal courthouse in Fargo—he is accused of sending an email that threatened a federal official and referenced the shooting death of a Minnesota state representative.
