FARGO (KFGO) – Fargo police are giving credit to several children who pointed officers in the right direction after a man jumped out the window of a motel room during a drug bust.

Drug agents and the Metro Street Crimes Unit were serving a warrant when 21 year-old Califf McClain jumped out the window. He ran and hid about a 1/4 lb. of marijuana.

The children were outside and told pursuing officers which way McClain was headed. They cheered on the officers as they gave chase.

McClain was taken to jail where he was booked on drug charges. Charges of tampering with evidence, preventing arrest and criminal mischief are also expected. He was also wanted on two outstanding warrants.
