Bismarck (CSI-NDNG) A North Dakota Army National Guard unit has received an alert notification for possible mobilization. About 30 members of the Fargo-based 191st Military Police Company were placed in an alert status. The decision to mobilize this unit has not yet occurred, but upon a final decision, an official U.S. Army mobilization order will be published. The unit has detachments in Mayville and Bismarck.
If mobilized, the unit will provide military police operations support to U.S. and coalition forces, in Afghanistan early in 2018.
Maj. Gen. Alan S. Dohrmann, North Dakota adjutant general, says, “I have complete confidence in the ability and professional competence of the leaders and Soldiers in our military police unit to accomplish their assigned missions. I remain appreciative of the tremendous support demonstrated by our Guard families, employers and friends during all of our domestic and overseas missions.”
The Soldiers were notified of their alert status by their leadership. The 191st Military Police Company specializes in law enforcement activities, mobility support operations, area security, detention operations, and criminal investigations in support of joint contingency efforts worldwide. They also execute domestic operations with emphasis on police and detention operations in support of state and civil authorities. About 30 Soldiers of the unit served in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from 2012-2013, and about 180 Soldiers served in Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2008-2009.
The 191st Military Police Company is led by Capt. Jacob Danduran, of Fargo, and 1st Sgt. Jennifer Gowan, of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Soldiers in the unit hail from nearly 70 communities across North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.
The 136th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB), based in Devils Lake, North Dakota, is the only other North Dakota Army National Guard unit that’s also in an alert status.
—
Since the 2001 terrorist attacks on America, the North Dakota National Guard has mobilized more than 4,200 Soldiers and over 2,600 Airmen in support of the Global War on Terrorism. About 70 percent of all members serving today have joined since that time. With a total force of about 4,100 Guardsmen, the North Dakota National Guard remains ready for stateside response and national defense. For every 10,000 citizens in North Dakota, 65 serve in the North Dakota National Guard, a rate that’s more than four times the national average.

ELLENDALE, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 74-year-old Mandan man died in a rollover accident near Ellendale.
The patrol says the accident happened Friday night on state Highway 11. The victim failed to negotiate a curve and went into the ditch. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say they believe alcohol was a factor in the crash. The victim was not wearing a seat belt.
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A Watford City woman who authorities say had five children in her sport utility vehicle when she was arrested for driving under the influence has pleaded not guilty to two charges.
Court records show that 32-year-old Kathaleen Livingston pleaded not guilty Friday to misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and driving under the influence of alcohol.
Court records show five children between the ages of 5 and 12 were in the SUV when a police officer stopped Livingston after seeing her driving erratically for several blocks.
Court records show Livingston registered a blood alcohol level that was more than three times the legal driving limit.
The newspaper reports it wasn’t immediately clear what relationship Livingston has with the children.
Livingston’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment on the case Monday.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Two South Dakota teens were arrested over the weekend in North Dakota after leading officers from two police departments on a chase in a van that police say had been stolen.
Police in Bismarck say the 15- and 16-year-old girls were arrested Sunday.
Police say the teenagers led officers on a chase that began in Mandan and crossed over into Bismarck. The crash ended when the teenagers crashed the van.
Details of the incident, including how the teenagers got a hold of the van, were not immediately clear.
The teenagers are being held at the Youth Correctional Center in Mandan.
Update….
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A man who escaped from a Washburn jail over the weekend has barricaded himself in a trailer home in Mandan.
Law enforcement officers have detonated flash bombs to try to force 35-year-old William Lyn Rawson out of the home. Mandan Police Lt. Pat Haug says Rawson has said he has a weapon.
Mandan Police Deputy Chief Paul Leingang says the incident began Monday morning. Police have evacuated some people in the area.
Rawson was discovered to be missing about 6 a.m. Sunday from the Detention Center in Washburn. The McLean County Sheriff’s Department has said Rawson was in custody on suspicion of a number of offenses, including eluding law enforcement, possessing a stolen vehicle and reckless endangerment.
Washburn is about 35 miles north of Bismarck.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — As thousands of commercial drone take to the skies under new Federal Aviation Administration rules, some small operators are pursuing a coveted exemption that would allow them to fly where they can’t be seen by the pilot.
The companies who want them say the so-called line-of-sight exemptions are essential for commercial uses. The FAA has been selective in handing out the exemptions, with only three so far.
Two North Dakota companies who are working on a project to use drones to help respond to natural disasters are seeking the exemption. Matt Dunlevy, head of Grand Forks-based SkySkopes, says the ability to fly long distances is the “silver bullet” that will spur the industry.
The FAA expects there will be 600,000 commercial drone aircraft operating in the U.S. within the year.
SANDUSKY, Iowa (AP) — Opponents of a major oil pipeline say roughly 40 people have been arrested during a public demonstration along the project’s route in southeast Iowa.
More than 150 protesters gathered in Sandusky on Saturday to try to block the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline.
The project would stretch 1,172 miles over four states once complete, transporting oil from North Dakota’s Bakken formations to Illinois. It also would cross 18 Iowa counties.
Protester Carolyn Scherf of Dubuque says she’s concerned the finished pipe could leak or break and contaminate rivers. Scherf says protesters successfully stopped work on the pipeline on Saturday.
On Friday, a federal appeals court ordered a halt to construction of another section of the pipeline in North Dakota.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Penobscot Nation and Maine climate activists are calling on President Barack Obama to stop a proposed $3.8 billion pipeline under construction in North Dakota.
June Sapiel and Dawn Neptune Adams from the Penobscot tribe are among speakers demanding action at an event Saturday in Portland. The event was co-sponsored by Sierra Club, Maine Peoples Alliance, 350 Maine, and Food and Water Watch.
The Texas company developing the four-state Dakota Access pipeline says it is committed to the project despite strong opposition and a federal order to halt construction near an American Indian reservation in North Dakota.
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (AP) — Federal prosecutors have their first guilty plea in a multistate drug trafficking case involving at least 20 people, including a Coeur d’Alene gastroenterologist and his family.
Geena Milho pleaded guilty this week to conspiracy to distribute heroin, oxycodone and methamphetamine.
Milho and 10 others were indicted by a federal grand jury in Coeur d’Alene on April 19.
In a plea agreement, Milho admitted she was part of the group that prosecutors say was headed by Loren Toelle, the wife of Stanley Toelle. He’s a gastroenterologist who worked at Kootenai Health. He’s charged with conspiracy to launder money.
Prosecutors say the group transported drugs from Nevada and California to Idaho, Washington, Montana and North Dakota from 2009 until early this year.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton plans to travel to St. Cloud to meet with the mayor and other local officials following the weekend stabbing at a local mall that’s being investigated as a potential act of terrorism.
