WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — Officials at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota are reminding visitors to keep their distance from bison and other large animals.

The National Park Service says a visitor was injured by a bison in the park’s North Unit on June 30. The 65-year-old man from Juneau, Alaska, was hiking that night to take pictures of the sunset and stopped to take photos of a bison he encountered while returning to his campground. The bison charged the hiker, causing a large cut on his thigh.

The man climbed a butte and called for help. Several campers arrived and found a bison between them and the hiker. One of the campers fired a handgun into the ground to scare the bison off.

The hiker was treated at a hospital and released.

 

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota county is planning to begin gathering data on inmates to determine the most pressing issues for inmates with drug and/or mental health issues at its local jail.

The Devils Lake Journal reports director Rob Johnson of the Lake Region Law Enforcement Center recently addressed the Ramsey County Commission and presented several statistics, showing those issues nationwide.

Johnson says gathering data should assist the county to convince state lawmakers that there’s a drug and mental health treatment issue.

Commissioner Ed Brown also agreed with Johnson’s plan and says the county needs state help.

Johnson and social services director Rhonda Allery, who’s assisting with plans to gather data, predict that it’s feasible to compile a report by the end of the year.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum has appointed a former Minnesota transportation commissioner to lead North Dakota’s transportation department.

Sorel served as Minnesota transportation commissioner from 2008 to 2012.

Burgum says Thomas Sorel will start the job in North Dakota next month. He replaces Grant Levi, who retired in May after more than 37 years with the department.

Sorel is currently the chief operating officer of the Minnesota Trucking Association.

North Dakota’s transportation department has more than 1,000 employees, and a two-year budget of $1.2 billion.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota jail is continuing to improve since being assigned a jail monitor by the state.

The Minot Daily News reports Ward County Jail was assigned a jail monitor by the North Dakota State Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation after the death of inmate Dustin Irwin in October 2014.

The jail came close to passing its most recent audit, but the NDDOC says that while the Ward County Jail is doing well, it will have a monitor in place as long as deemed necessary.

In 2014, NDDOC Director Leann Bertsch determined that the inmates and staff weren’t “safe as a result of the inaction of the Sheriff.”

Sheriff Steve Kukowski was suspended and resigned this year in exchange for three misdemeanor charges against him being dropped.
