A Fargo 14 year-old was stabbed over 20 times, beat & strangled by a complete stranger when she was out skateboarding. Her attacker was on probation for a conviction for assault.
Arthur Prince Kollie 23, with no permanent address, has been charged with attempted murder, robbery and aggravated assault in connection to an attack on Jupiter Paulsen, ateenager found Friday with about 25 cuts and stab wounds outside a south Fargo strip mall.
Kollie made an appearance in Cass County District Court Monday afternoon, June 7, and Judge John Irby set bail at $1 million, cash only.
A prosecutor told Irby the victim was at the wrong place at the wrong time when the attack happened and she said it is not clear whether the victim will survive her injuries.
Police found discarded shoes and clothing covered in blood in the changing room.
Later, police found a man matching the description of the individual who took clothing from Walmart and identified him as Kollie.
Questioned by police, Kollie said he used methamphetamine the afternoon of June 3 and denied any role in the assault on the morning of June 4, according to court documents.
Kollie said he was walking in the area where the assault occurred but repeatedly stated he did “not recall” when asked about the incident.
Court documents state that when Kollie was told he was under arrest for robbery and attempted murder, he responded by saying: “attempted murder, as is she alive? Or what? What does attempted murder mean?”
At the time of the attack on Paulsen, Kollie was on probation for a 2017 conviction for simple assault on a peace officer.
Kollie had also pleaded guilty on May 7, 2021, to discharging a firearm within city limits, possessing a firearm as a felon and possessing drug paraphernalia. For those charges, which stemmed from an incident in December, Kollie was sentenced to 18 months supervised probation and 27 days in jail — though court records indicate he was released from jail as he had already served that time behind bars.
The victim’s father, Robert Paulsen, told Forum News Service Friday that his daughter was skateboarding from his house to her mother’s house when she was randomly attacked.
The assailant choked the 14-year-old and stabbed her more than 20 times over the course of about 20 minutes in an attack that was caught in part on security video, according to Paulsen and court records.

This is in the city in which I work. Fargo is run by a shithead libtard,racist, BLM loving race baiting/pandering mayor. Fargo has gotten bad over the last couple of years and even worse last and this year. Have had many incidents, including BLM protests which turned into a riot one time, black people/Muslims beating the shit out of white people, black people shooting at cops and civilians alike, one or two of which I know people were either killed or seriously injured. More than I care to mention or too many to list. This shit right here is exactly why I legally conceal carry 99.9% of the time or always have a firearm in my vehicle. (I legally cannot carry at work unless I was one of the policemen/women working on site).
