ArgoNeuT, a 170 liter LArTPC neu-trino detector set in the NuMI neutrino beamline at Fermilab, has recently collected thousands of low energy (~3 GeV) neu-trino and anti-neutrino events in a wide variety of channels. These samples represent the first neutrino interactions ever seen with a LArTPC in a low energy beam. ArgoNeuT is one of the initial steps in a phased program of R&D toward a kilo-ton-scale LArTPC, to be used in the search for leptonic CP violation and proton decay. Neutrino events in ArgoNeuT and preliminary kinematic distributions will be presented along with a description of the physics analyses, detector design, and future prospects. Emphasis will be placed on the ongoing neutrino-argon charged current quasi-elastic cross section and vertex activity analyses, relevant for long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.
