BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Police say a man who had a loaded gun in his carry-on bag at Bismarck Municipal Airport was not arrested.

Bismarck Police Sgt. Mark Buschena says the 43-year-old man apparently had forgotten that he had the handgun in his bag Monday afternoon. The Bismarck Tribune reports Buschena says the man had no arrest warrants and the handgun had not been stolen.

So a report of the incident was simply sent to the city attorney for review.

CRARY, N.D. (AP) — A Fordville man is dead after a pickup truck crash in Ramsey County.

The Highway Patrol says 90-year-old Edgar Behm lost control of his truck on an icy county road east of Crary about 8:30 a.m. Monday, and the vehicle overturned in the ditch.

Behm died at the scene. There were no passengers.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A new law in North Dakota will end monthly child support obligations of parents sentenced to jail or prison for 180 days or longer.

The Legislature approved the change to prevent the accumulation of past-due child support owed by incarcerated parents.

The law allows a child support obligation to be re-established if an incarcerated parent has more than $750 of net monthly income from outside sources. It does not apply to parents on work release or probation.

Leann Bertsch is the director of the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. She says the law will help facilitate successful re-entry into the community by reducing debt that could set former inmates up for failure and possible re-incarceration.

State records show about 330 inmates will have their child support obligations terminated.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An acclaimed Bismarck police dog has died.

The police department says Luna became seriously ill earlier this month, and veterinarians found a tumor during surgery. The dog did not recover from surgery and died Saturday.

Luna had served with the department since December 2012. Police say she located an “enormous amount” of illegal drugs during her career, including cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine.

She won several regional and national awards and was inducted into the North Dakota Animal Hall of Fame in 2014.
