Jamestown (KFYR-AP) The woman whose four-month-old son was found dead on Saturday in rural Stutsman County has been charged with manslaughter and child neglect, according to court records.
Twenty-five-year old Justice Lange had been missing for four days and told authorities she couldn’t remember the last time she had her son.
She will have an initial appearance Thursday morning at 10:30 in Stutsman County.
Last Friday, Lange was found wandering on a road east of Woodworth by a farmer. She was taken to a hospital in Fargo, while authorities launched a search for the baby.
His body was found on Saturday afternoon after a two-day search on the edge of a slough in some reeds.
Authorities were unsure how long he had been there.
Lange is being held in Stutsman County on a parole violation.
The Stutsman County Clerk of Court confirms there was oral probable cause for the charges.
Stutsman County Sheriff Chad Kaiser says the autopsy report on the official cause of the baby’s death has still not been released.

Jamestown (JRMC) — Community members young and old are helping bring cancer care to Jamestown.
Katie Osbourne and the 20 or so members of the Prairie Pals 4-H Club baked breakfast items and lunches to sell as part of the Stutsman County Gardening Day in May.
She says, “I thought of cancer because my grandpa had cancer.”
Harold Osbourne passed away in April. His family gave the option of memorial gifts. One of the choices was the JRMC Cancer Center.
That’s because JRMC cared for Harold throughout his journey. He traveled for some tests, however, he received many of his infusions at JRMC.
Katie says, “We were happy for what he could have done here. Most of the students in her 4-H group also are related to or know individuals struggling with cancer. The cause is relatable. The whole club thought supporting the JRMC Cancer Center was a good idea.”
Like the students, Jamestown and the surrounding community are gathering in support of the upcoming JRMC Cancer Center.
The annual Golf “FORE” Good tournament is set for Friday, July 20. All proceeds benefit Jamestown Regional Medical’s Cancer Center.
“Golf “FORE” Good is a great way to support the 55,000 people in our community,” said Lisa Jackson, JRMC Foundation director. “Miles matter when it comes to cancer care.”
Each year, the JRMC Cancer Center will provide chemotherapy infusions for more than 100 residents of Jamestown and the surrounding communities. Currently, those people travel more than 100 miles for that care. This will eliminate more than 160,000 miles of travel per year.
The JRMC Cancer Center will include six infusion rooms, a consultation area and space for nurses and staff.
So far, JRMC Foundation has raised more than $1.2 million of its $1.5 million Phase II goal. Gifts support the buildout of existing space, equipment and technology, staff recruitment and training.
This year’s Title Golf “FORE” Good sponsor is the JRMC Auxiliary. The 40 or so members support JRMC through organizing fundraisers and supporting the JRMC Gift Shoppe.
JRMC Auxiliary president, Eunice Sahr says, “Everyone is so in favor of getting the JRMC Cancer Center here so people don’t have to drive.”

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say all eight outdoor warning sirens in a North Dakota oil patch city were sounded before a deadly tornado ravaged an RV park, but park residents and others say they didn’t hear them.
A newborn baby was killed and dozens were injured when the storm moved through Watford City shortly after midnight Tuesday. More than 120 structures were destroyed.
McKenzie County emergency manager Karolin Jappe says all of the sirens functioned properly, including one within blocks of the RV park. She says the storm was so loud that someone in the path of it would have had to be outside to hear the warnings.
Prairie View RV park resident Clifford Bowden said he and his neighbors didn’t hear sirens but someone he knows who lives across town heard them.
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A crowdfunding campaign has raised more than $13,000 for a couple who lost their week-old baby when a tornado hit a North Dakota town.
McKenzie County Sheriff Gary Schwartzenberger says the boy died after the storm flipped his family’s trailer Tuesday morning at an RV park in Watford City.
The baby’s name has not been released. The Bismarck Tribune says Schwartzenberger reported to Gov. Doug Burgum and other officials late Tuesday that the boy was the son of Marisa Reber and Will Maguire.
A GoFundMe account set up for the couple shows more than 225 people had donated as of early Wednesday.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Denver woman accused of shooting at officers during protests in North Dakota against the Dakota Access oil pipeline was sentenced Wednesday to four years and nine months in federal prison.
Red Fawn Fallis, 39, was accused of firing a handgun three times while resisting arrest on Oct. 27, 2016. No one was hurt. Fallis, a member of the Oglala Sioux tribe, denied intentionally trying to injure anyone and claimed not to remember firing the gun after being tackled by police.
She pleaded guilty Jan. 22 to civil disorder and illegal possession of a gun by a convicted felon. She has a 2003 conviction in Colorado for being an accessory to a felony crime. Court records show she was accused of driving a car for a man who shot and wounded another man.
Prosecutors in the pipeline case agreed to drop a count of discharge of a firearm during a felony crime of violence and to recommend a sentence of no more than seven years in prison, though U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland could have gone as high as 15 years. He could have gone up to 25 years had the third charge not been dropped. The defense asked for no more than 2 ½ years.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fargo police are investigating a reported armed robbery of a liquor store.

ALEXANDER, N.D. (AP) — State officials are monitoring cleanup of a spill at a saltwater disposal site in McKenzie County.
Murex Petroleum Corp. on Tuesday reported the spill of 12,600 gallons of brine and 2,100 gallons of oil due to a fire at the site about 3 ½ miles south of Alexander.
The state Oil and Gas Division says all of the brine and oil was contained within on-site diking. A state inspector has visited the site.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Officials say the first trans-Atlantic flight by a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft has successfully landed in England.
The General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. drone departed from the Grand Sky park at the Grand Forks Air Force Base Tuesday afternoon.
The flight covered more than 3,000 miles before landing in Gloucestershire, England, where the Royal Air Force is holding its centennial celebration.
The aircraft is an MQ-9B Predator, which is made by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., a tenant at the Grand Sky park.
Thomas Swoyer Jr., president of Grand Sky Development Co., says the flight is a “critical first step” in developing a commercial network of large drones that can crisscross the United States or the world to support emergency responders, provide services in a natural disaster or deliver supplies.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Legislature’s top attorney has been hired as the new director of the Legislature’s research agency.
The bipartisan Legislative Management Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to hire John Bjornson to lead the Legislative Council. Its incumbent director, Jim Smith, is retiring in August after 39 years with the agency.
The nonpartisan research arm’s 34-member staff includes accountants and attorneys who draft new laws and budget proposals for lawmakers. The agency has a two-year budget of $11.8 million.
The 55-year old Bjornson is a native of Edinburg and a graduate of the University of North Dakota. He began working at the agency in 1988.
The committee did not discuss his compensation. Smith is paid $191,000 annually.

VALLEY CITY, N.D. (VCSUVikings.com)- Valley City State University athletic director Jill DeVries announced Wednesday that cross country and track and field coach Chris Johnson has resigned to take a position at Tulane University.
DeVries said a search for his replacement at VCSU will begin immediately.
DeVries says, “We want to thank Chris for the job he did as the head coach of Viking cross country and track and field, and we wish him the very best at Tulane. The program is in great shape and the future is bright for VCSU track and cross country.”
Johnson had been head coach of VCSU’s cross country and track and field programs for the past three seasons. Under his direction, the rosters for both programs have grown significantly and the teams have become competitive at the conference and national levels. The VCSU women’s program had its first ever national champion during Johnson’s tenure as he coached Seri Geisler to national titles in the women’s javelin in both 2016 and 2017.

The governing body in February denied the school’s appeal and vacated 123 victories, including their third NCAA title following an escort’s book allegations in October 2015 that former basketball staffer Andre McGee hired her and other dancers for sex parties. Louisville removed the championship banner from its home arena soon afterward.
