Javontez Barnes is charged with attempted murder, robbery, aggravated assault and burglary in the January 2017 case. He also faces reckless endangerment charges for a separate incident that month in which he allegedly fired four shots into an occupied apartment building.

The Minot Daily News reports Barnes was to stand trial last month, but it was continued. A two-week trial is now set to begin Sept. 17. He would face up to 65 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Co-defendant Randolph Garbutt pleaded guilty earlier to robbery and is serving a six-year sentence. He’s agreed to testify against Barnes.

 

 

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A monthly survey report suggests economic conditions in nine Midwest and Plains states took a leap forward last month.The report released Tuesday says the Mid-America Business Conditions Index jumped to 61.1 in August, compared with 57.0 in July. It’s the 21st straight month that the index remained above growth neutral 50.0.Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says the region’s manufacturing growth of 3.1 percent over the past 12 months exceeds the U.S. growth rate of 2.6 percent.The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth. A score below that suggests decline.The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota judge has dismissed felony charges against a father and son arrested in February after 210 pounds of marijuana was seized from their pickup.

The Bismarck Tribune reports Christopher Conkey and Robert Smith were charged after a Feb. 4 traffic stop west of Mandan on Interstate 94. Conkey is from Oregon and Smith is from Washington state.

Attorneys for Conkey and Smith filed motions to suppress evidence seized during the stop, arguing that a Morton County deputy did not have reasonable suspicion to search their pickup during a traffic stop.

South Central District Judge Bruce Romanick sided with the defendants last week

Authorities say marijuana and other items seized will be disposed.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Three Affiliated Tribes is opening a $24.8 million drug treatment center in Bismarck.

The Good Road Recovery Center will be an inpatient drug and alcohol treatment and recovery center for enrolled tribal members.

Work on the facility began in December 2016. The Minot Daily News reports that a grand opening ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday.

The 20,000-square-foot treatment center sits on 11 acres and has five buildings, including male and female resident cottages with eight beds in each.

The center is designed for future expansion, with an additional 11 acres for development including transitional housing.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed more than a year of additional study of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, saying the work substantiated its earlier determination that the pipeline poses no significant environmental threats.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in June 2017 ruled that the Corps “largely complied” with environmental law when permitting the Energy Transfers Partners pipeline.

However, the judge ordered more study because he said the agency didn’t adequately consider how an oil spill under the Missouri River might affect the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s fishing and hunting rights, or whether it might disproportionately affect the tribal community.

The corps said in its filing Friday that the chance of an oil spill is low and that minority and low-income populations are not at greater risk.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota wildlife officials are trying to boost the walleye population in new, smaller lakes that have popped up around the state during recent wet decades.

Game and Fish Department crews this summer stocked nearly 10 million walleye fingerlings in more than 140 bodies of water across the state. More than 8 million of them went into smaller lakes, due in part to the fact that the large Lake Sakakawea reservoir on the Missouri River doesn’t currently need many.

“When Sakakawea is at normal or higher lake levels like the last several years, it typically does very well on its own naturally,” said Jerry Weigel, the department’s fisheries production and development supervisor.

But there are more than 50 new lakes in North Dakota in which the walleye population is still getting established.
