   Kedrick Baker   
      
   FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - A man is facing several felony charges after   
   allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at a camp near the Red River in Fargo.   
      
   Kedrick Baker is charged with gross sexual imposition, attempted gross sexual   
   imposition, felonious restraint, preventing arrest, unlawful possession of   
   drug paraphernalia, and possession of marijuana.   
      
   According to court documents filed in Cass County, police were called to the   
   bike path area between the Main Avenue bridge and NP Avenue bridge around 6:00   
   p.m. on August 3. Dispatchers said the caller was not providing information,   
   but they could hear a    
   woman screaming in the background.   
      
   Police arrived on scene and say they saw a black male with his pants and   
   underwear down, on top of a woman laying on the ground. Officers say they   
   announced they were with Fargo Police and Baker started yelling and walking   
   toward them aggressively.   
      
   Court records say an officer drew his gun and gave Baker commands to show his   
   hands and get on the ground. The officer says Baker continued to approach him   
   aggressively.   
      
   “Kedrick stated multiple times while flexing and walking towards me that he   
   was not going to get on the ground,” the officer wrote in court records.   
      
   The officer holstered his firearm and drew a taser. Police say the taser was   
   discharged after Baker continued to ignore officers’ commands. The officer   
   says Baker ripped the taser probes off and continued toward him. Baker ended   
   up getting tased three    
   times before finally sitting on the ground.   
      
   Officers say they found the woman laying on the ground, partially unclothed   
   and still crying. According to court records, the victim says Baker followed   
   her from the NP Avenue bridge. She says she had seen him before, but did not   
   know him. She says she    
   threw a rock at Baker to get him to stop following her.   
      
   The woman told officers that Baker assaulted her and tried to suffocate her,   
   saying he was on top of her for at least 15 minutes. She says she started   
   screaming because she didn’t know what else to do, court records state.   
      
   Police also interviewed a friend of the victim who was reportedly nearby. She   
   says she heard the victim screaming, but she “kept going quiet.” She also   
   told officers she heard the victim yell “get off of me.”   
      
   Baker and the female victim were both taken from the scene by separate   
   ambulances. The woman was taken to a hospital to be evaluated. Court records   
   say a rape kit was done and the victim possibly had broken ribs from the   
   incident.   
      
   Baker was taken to a different hospital and medically cleared before being   
   taken to the Cass County Jail.   
      
   Valley News Live previously reported on Kedrick Baker in 2021. At that time,   
   he was charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct for allegedly   
   following women and groping them at a grocery store in Moorhead.   
      
   Clay County Court records show he was convicted on one count of 5th degree   
   criminal sexual conduct in April of 2024. He was sentenced to serve 275 days   
   in the Clay County Jail, but given credit for 224 days already served, so   
   ended up serving about 50    
   more days in jail. The second charge was dismissed.
