FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fargo police have arrested two people in what they describe as a drug-related drive-by shooting.

Authorities say one of the suspects initially tried to rob the victim of drugs at gunpoint Sunday afternoon, but the victim drove away after a struggle over the gun.

Police say the suspects then chased the victim and shot at him. The victim wasn’t hit, but he was treated at a hospital and released for injuries he suffered during the scuffle over the gun.

Three people were taken into custody after a traffic stop in West Fargo, and two were later arrested.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger has been given a suspended jail sentence and placed on probation on drunken driving charges.

Rauschenberger pleaded guilty to drunken driving and will serve nearly a year of probation as part of an agreement with prosecutors. The 34-year-old Republican was arrested by the North Dakota Highway Patrol in Mandan on Sept. 30. A report provided by showed he had blood alcohol content of 0.20, which is more than twice the state’s legal limit.

Rauschenberger said after his arrest that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism. The commissioner publicly revealed his struggles with alcohol soon after he was appointed in 2014 by then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple. He sought treatment at a Minnesota facility that same year during a successful run to be elected to the post.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — City leaders in Minot are re-examining local economic development strategies and the use of an incentive fund after recent fluctuations in the oil and agriculture industries.

City Councilman Josh Wolsky says the council will determine if there’s new methods for economic development that can be debated or if the city’s “old methods are as effective as we want them to be.”

The  council has agreed to divert nearly $823,000 in sales tax that’s expected to be collected for the city’s MAGIC Fund to flood protection for 2018. The fund was created in 1990 and has been used to grant and loan money to businesses.

Wolsky expects the council to discuss the subject in detail in November and says it will likely appoint a review committee.

 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The family of American Indian activist Dennis Banks says he has died. He was 80.
