MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Charges are pending against a woman after a near-miss accidental shooting in a Minot apartment building.
Police say the 27-year-old woman was cleaning her gun about 1 a.m. Monday and pulled the trigger, firing a round through the floor and into the apartment below.
Authorities say the bullet struck a dresser near where a man was sitting. He wasn’t hurt.
The woman was arrested on a reckless endangerment charge. Formal charges were pending.
RUGBY, N.D. (AP) — A 51-year-old Towner man is accused of having sex with a female inmate at the jail in Rugby when he was working there as a cook.
Authorities allege Marcelo Lara had consensual sex with the 33-year-old female inmate in the walk-in cooler at the Heart of America Correctional Center.
The woman had been allowed to help prepare jail meals while she was incarcerated, and Lara was her supervisor.
He’s charged with sexual abuse of a ward. The felony carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.
The Minot Daily News reports Lara made his initial court appearance on March 29 and is due back in court April 23. Court documents do not list an attorney for him.
OXBOW, N.D. (AP) — A Canadian man escaped injury when the semitrailer he was driving caught fire on Interstate 29 in southeastern North Dakota’s Cass County.
The Highway Patrol says the driver was able to stop on the highway shoulder about 8:15 p.m. Sunday and disconnect the trailer from the cab after the trailer’s rear tires caught fire.
The trailer was loaded with produce. The flames engulfed the rear half of the trailer before firefighters from Horace arrived and put them out.
The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately determined.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Minneapolis law firm says poor policies, training and supervision have plagued a small North Dakota high school where alleged hazing led to charges against five boys.
The report by the Langevin Lentz firm for the Richland 44 School Board details reports from parents of what has come to be called the “rape game” in the community. But it also says there’s confusion about what that actually is.
The term has been described several ways, from finger-poking of the buttocks through clothes to students being restrained and anally penetrated with fingers.
Authorities in mid-February referred five boys to juvenile court for alleged offenses including felonious restraint, terrorizing, hazing and sexual assault.
The law firm found issues with school policies, training and supervision. The school board says they’ll be addressed.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Charities and others are upset with draft rules that would govern the use of electronic pull tabs in North Dakota.
The Legislature last year approved the use of electronic pull tabs and the North Dakota attorney general’s office has crafted rules for their use.
A public hearing on the proposed rules was held Monday at the state Capitol.
Minot Republican Rep. Andy Maragos was the primary sponsor of the bill. But he says the draft rules don’t comply with the legislation’s intent.
The draft rules, among other things, would limit the number of the machines and payouts.
Paper pull tabs account for a majority of the wagers at charitable gambling outlets.
Backers of the electronic pull tabs say they will not replace the paper tickets.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A recent report says job openings are booming in central North Dakota and the Bakken oil patch.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Job Service North Dakota released its regional report last week. The report found job openings in Divide, McKenzie and Williams counties were at their highest level last month since July 2015.
Cindy Sanford of Williston Job Service North Dakota says the three counties have a significant need for health care professionals and teachers.
She says the oilfield also needs more operators for hydraulic fracturing, pipelines, truck driving and drones. Sanford says they’re looking for people with experience and clean driving records.
She says Bakken-area job openings have steadily increased since fall. Sanford anticipates the trend to continue as construction projects move forward once the weather warms next month.
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A Minnesota man has been sentenced to more than nine years in prison for a carjacking in South Dakota.
The U.S. attorney’s office says 28-year-old Michael Jaime of Dilworth, Minnesota, stole a car at gunpoint at a Sioux Falls truck stop in July 2016.
He later fled from officers in Moorhead, Minnesota, who discontinued the pursuit when speeds reached 140 mph. The car was found abandoned the next day in Dilworth, and Jaime was later arrested.
He pleaded guilty in December and was recently sentenced to nine years and two months in prison. A restitution hearing will be held later.

President of Pure Hockey Skills, Jeff Romddahl says, “I grew up playing on the outdoor rink in McElroy Park in Jamestown and currently have our own backyard pond hockey rink built annually which our youth and adults spend time on having fun, building skills, and creating memories. We wanted to build an official outdoor rink, right here on the UJ campus to bring our hockey passion back to those roots; it’s going to be a lot of fun for the players and fans of the game.”
The event will also feature VIP seating and other hockey events and activities. Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, please contact Cole Bell at 701-252-3467 ext. 5557 or cole.bell@uj.edu or Jeff Romsdal at 701-269-7636 or jeff@purehockeyskills.com.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he’s going to “make it up” to farmers who would be impacted by China’s proposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports.
Trump says: “It’s not nice when they hit the farmers specifically because they think that hits me.”
Trump is promising during a Cabinet meeting that American farmers “will be better off than they ever were” over the last eight years, despite China’s threat to place duties on pork and soybean imports from the U.S.
China is threatening the tariffs in response to Trump moving to enact protectionist measures as punishment for Chinese theft of U.S. intellectual property. The U.S. bought more than $500 billion in goods from China last year and now is planning or considering penalties on some $150 billion of those imports.
