Fargo police say the 25-year-old suspect stole the pickup at Casey’s General Store while its owner was inside paying for gas Monday night.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The manager of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Fargo has apologized for telling a breast-feeding mother to leave.
Macy Hornung says she was kicked out of the restaurant Saturday because she was breast-feeding her baby without a cover, even though she says she was being discreet.
Hornung spoke to reporters and also posted a comment on social media that drew thousands of comments and shares from those who support her.?
Restaurant owner Kimberly Flamm issued a statement Sunday apologizing for the way she handled the situation.
North Dakota law allows women to breast-feed in public if they do it “in a discreet and modest manner.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Eighteen programs in North Dakota that help the homeless with housing and other services are sharing in $1.8 million in federal money.
The funding is part of $2 billion being awarded by Housing and Urban Development to more than 7,300 programs nationwide.
HUD says more than half a million people experienced homelessness at some point last year.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s first lady is scheduled to attend a White House even featuring prominent women within the Trump administration and state government.
Kathryn Helgaas Burgum will participate in panel discussions on the economy and jobs, national security, education and health care, including the nation’s opioid crisis.
Helgaas Burgum says she has been asked to talk specifically about her expertise and experience related to combating addiction.
Other panelists expected to appear Tuesday are Ivanka Trump, White House councilor Kellyanne Conway, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and others.
Gov. Doug Burgum signed an executive order last week establishing a new office aimed at addiction recovery and treatment initiatives.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A task force formed to help revive a stalled flood project for the Fargo area discussed many options, but the city’s mayor is hoping for one recommendation from the group’s efforts.
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton assembled the task force following a judge’s decision to shut down the $2.2 billion Red River diversion until it gets the necessary permits from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney, who also chairs the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Authority, expects the final plan to be a hybrid of all the task force options.
Mahoney says the proposal needs to qualify for DNR permits, maintain federal funding and lower impacts to Richland and Wilkin counties.
A final report from the task force is expected to be released this week.

TWINS…
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Right-handed reliever Addison Reed and Minnesota have finalized a $16.75 million, two-year contract, putting another pitcher with closing experience in the back of the Twins’ bullpen. The Twins agreed to a deal with right-hander Fernando Rodney in the offseason. Reed has 125 saves in seven major league seasons. He started last season with the New York Mets, then was traded to Boston. He was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 2010 and took over the ninth inning for them two years later.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Justin Morneau, the 2006 American League MVP and Minnesota Twins first baseman whose career was derailed by concussion symptoms, is retiring. Morneau had 1,603 hits and 247 home runs in 14 major league seasons. The Twins scheduled a farewell news conference for this week. Morneau was a four-time All-Star before a head injury in 2010.
NFL-NEWS
UNDATED (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are parting with head coach Mike Mularkey just a week after controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said he would be back next season.
Strunk says in a statement they discussed extending his contract during the past week, but that each side saw a different path to take the team to greater success.
Mularkey took over as interim head coach in 2015 and revived a team with the NFL’s worst record over two seasons. He led the Titans to their first playoff victory in 14 years before losing to the Patriots 35-14 on Saturday.
Mularkey was 20-21 at Tennessee, including a pair of 9-7 seasons after becoming the permanent head coach in January 2016.

Villanova picked up 63 of 65 first-place votes, while Virginia and Purdue claimed one each. The Cavaliers moved up one spot to second, and the Boilermakers climbed from fifth to third.
Oklahoma vaulted from ninth to fourth, while Duke made a two-place ascension to fifth.
West Virginia, Wichita State, Texas Tech, Michigan State and Kansas round out the top 10. The Mountaineers fell from second and the Spartans dropped five spots following losses over the weekend.
Meanwhile, UConn remains the unanimous No. 1 team in the AP women’s basketball poll after the Huskies’ latest winning streak reached triple-digits.

MLB…
UNDATED (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have finally pulled off a trade involving center fielder Andrew McCutchen.
The Bucs have shipped McCutchen to the Giants for right-hander Kyle Crick, minor league outfielder Bryan Reynolds and $500,000 in international signing bonus allocation. The move comes two days after the Pirates sent ace pitcher Gerrit Cole to the Astros.
The 2013 National League MVP takes over in center from Denard Span, who was dealt to the Rays in the Evan Longoria deal. The durable McCutchen has played at least 153 games in each of the past three seasons for the Pirates, batting .279 with 28 home runs and 88 RBIs in 156 games in 2017. But he has not been an All-Star since 2015, when he was selected for the fifth straight season.

Men’s fourth seed Alexander Zverev won his opening-round match in straight sets.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is scheduled to head back to work Tuesday after spending the federal holiday that honors Martin Luther King Jr. on his private golf course. Trump dedicated his weekly address to King’s memory, but did hold any public events in honor of the civil rights leader. Trump is under fire for using a vulgarity to question why the U.S. accepts immigrants from Africa instead of nations like Norway. Trump says his comments were misrepresented.
PERRIS, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California couple is being held on $9 million bail and could face charges including torture and child endangerment. Authorities say a 17-year-old girl called police after escaping from her family’s home where she and her 12 brothers and sisters, ages 2 to 29, were locked up in filthy conditions. Police went to the house in Perris, where they found several children shackled to their beds in dark, foul-smelling surroundings, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is participating in a gathering of 20 nations in the Canadian city of Vancouver to discuss how to deal with North Korea. Officials are expected to discuss cooperation on sanctions and preventing the spread of weapons by North Korea. The summit was called for before the recent start of talks between North and South Korea. It comes days after a mistaken missile alert caused panic on Hawaii.
TOKYO (AP) — North Korea’s state-run media are mocking U.S. President Donald Trump’s tweet about having a bigger nuclear button than leader Kim Jong Un. The ruling party newspaper lashed out at Trump in a commentary that took issue with the U.S. commander in chief’s Jan. 3 tweet that “I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!” A summary of the commentary by North Korea’s official news agency described the tweet as “the spasm of a lunatic.”
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Pope Francis has begged for forgiveness for the “irreparable damage” done to children who have been raped and molested by priests, opening his visit to Chile by diving head-first into a scandal that has greatly hurt the Catholic Church’s credibility here and cast a cloud over his visit. Speaking to Chile’s president, lawmakers, judges and other authorities Tuesday, Francis said he felt “bound to express my pain and shame” that some of Chile’s pastors had sexually abused children in their care.
