FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A man was arrested on a possible reckless endangerment charge after he was found pounding on the door to the Cass County Jail not far from his burning car in Fargo, police said.

The car fire was reported about 9:30 p.m. Thursday. KFGO reports a short time later, the driver was pounding on the jail door, telling officers he was high on methamphetamine, his car was on fire and he was running from police.

The man told officials he was driving down the street, using meth and smoking a cigarette when the car's interior started on fire, so he left the vehicle in the road and ran away, according to authorities.

The 38-year-old man with no permanent address was arrested. He was taken to the hospital and then to jail.
