FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – A Perham, Minnesota, man is in the Cass County Jail, accused of threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend and holding her against her will in a Fargo hotel room.

Fargo police were called to America’s Best Value Inn in the early morning hours of October 26. When officers arrived, the woman said Jamie Frazee took her cell phone, car keys, purse and vehicle, and that she was afraid to leave.

According to court records, the woman and Frazee broke up about a month ago. The woman says she met Frazee at the hotel on October 24. When he planned to leave on October 25, he says Frazee “freaked out.”

The victim says Frazee drove his car around Fargo and stopped at random places. At one point, he tried to put out his cigarette in her face, burning her right cheek, according to court records. The woman says Frazee had a black folding knife between his legs while driving and held it to his neck six to seven times.

Police say the woman had a red burn mark on her cheek and they found a black knife between the seats of her car.

The woman told officers that they returned to the hotel room and that Frazee was upset about her leaving, so he used her credit card to pay for another night.

“She felt like she couldn’t leave because Jamie mentioned he was going to hit her,” an officer writes in court records.

The woman says she tried to leave the hotel, but Frazee pushed her out of the way. Court records allege that Frazee forced her to take off her clothes and take a shower while he watched. He is also accused of threatening to kill the woman and dismember her to “teach her a lesson.”

A responding officer says the woman was shaking, shaking and nervous as she described what happened.

Frazee returned to the hotel while officers were there and was arrested. He is charged with two counts of terrorizing and two counts of simple assault. Bail has been set at $15,000 cash.
