FARGO 1958 was a notable year for a number of reasons.
Sputnik 1, the world s first human-made satellite, was launched into Earth orbit. The microchip was invented. And, oh yes, Sam Mann began cutting hair.
Now, 63 years later, Mann s hair-cutting days have come to an end.
On Thursday, June 3, his final day as a barber, Mann chatted about those early days as he gave a last haircut to a longtime customer at South Plaza Barbers on South University Drive in Fargo, which on Thursday became the last of many barbershops he has worked in.
Thick black smoke, a Betty Crocker knife and a 1969 Pontiac Firebird these were just a few elements of closing arguments Tuesday in the trial of Amani Smith, who faces multiple charges in the death of a 63-year-old Waukesha man.
The charges, which include intentional homicide and arson, were filed two months after Dennis Huelse s severely burnt body was discovered in his home in the 600 block of South University Drive on Sept. 26, 2019. Authorities found him with a knife stuck in his neck, and determined he was dead before the fire damaged his house.
Smith, 22, was charged two months after police said they uncovered evidence linking him to the crime namely, the missing Firebird, Huelse s prized possession. Surveillance video reportedly showed Smith driving the car down Interstate 94 shortly after Huelse s death. The Firebird was later found just a few blocks from Smith s home in Milwaukee.
