The driver of the fleeing vehicle was identified as 40 year old Chad Lee Kapp (<see photo) of Jamestown. Kapp was arrested on suspicion of the following charges: fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer; hindering law enforcement, and reckless endangerment.
Additional Law Enforcement Officers were immediately called to the scene of the incident and a perimeter was set up, to try and locate the fleeing passenger. The North Dakota Highway Patrol dispatched their agency plane to help provide aerial surveillance of the area. The land owner was notified and voluntarily provided additional assistance to Law Enforcement by allowing Law Enforcement to use Crop Sprayers to drive through his corn field, to provide an elevated platform to search for the suspect and to limit any damage to the crop.
The passenger of the vehicle was identified as 25 year old Levi Shawn Guthmiller of Jamestown. (see photo above) Guthmiller has not been located and is still wanted by police for the active felony arrest warrants.

Bismarck (NDNG) -A change in leadership within the North Dakota National Guard’s Land Component Command (LCC) took place Sunday during a change of command ceremony. As the current LCC commander, Brig. Gen. Robert Fode handed-off the duties of overseeing the state’s nearly 3,000 Army Guardsmen to Col. Leo Ryan at the Raymond J. Bohn Armory in Bismarck.
Fode, who will retire in October, has culminated a four-decade-long military career. A native of Mobridge, South Dakota, he enlisted in the N.D. Army National Guard in 1978 as a motor transport operator. In 1985, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the engineer branch after attending Officer Candidate School. He has held myriad key leadership positions throughout his career, including serving as a platoon leader, executive officer and commander within units of the 164th Engineer Battalion. Additionally, he served as the operations officer for the 142nd Engineer Combat Battalion.
From December 2003 – February 2005, Fode commanded the 141st Engineer Combat Battalion during the unit’s deployment to Iraq. He mobilized again for a NATO-led peacekeeping mission in Kosovo in 2009, serving as the deputy commander, Multinational Battle Group East with Kosovo Forces, or KFOR 12. Upon his return, Fode was assigned as the director of the Joint Staff for the N.D. National Guard before assuming duties as the Land Component commander in April 2014.
A traditional Guardsman, Fode is employed by the N.D. Department of Transportation. He has worked for the agency since 1993 and currently is the director for the Office of Project Development.
Left, Fode, Right, Ryan
Ryan said during the ceremony, “Thank you Maj. Gen. Dohrmann for putting your trust in me, and I truly appreciate the support of everyone here today. I look forward to continuing to enable our Soldiers to receive the training they need to accomplish our mission, and will empower you to continue to support our communities, state and nation.”
Ryan brings more than three decades of experience to his new assignment as land component commander. He enlisted in 1985 as a bridge crewman in the 957th Engineering Company. In 1992, he completed Officer Candidate School and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. He has held a number of leadership positions throughout his military career, to include commanding the 1st Battalion, 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment; the N.D. Army National Guard’s Officer Candidate School and the 164th Regiment Regional Training Institute.
Ryan twice has served overseas during federal mobilizations. In 1990, he deployed to Southwest Asia in support of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm as a squad leader in the 132nd Quartermaster Company. He deployed again in 2007 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as the executive officer for the 164th Engineer Battalion.
In his civilian profession, Ryan is an owner and practicing attorney of Dalsted and Ryan, P.C., which has offices in Jamestown and Carrington, North Dakota. He is also the Jamestown City Attorney.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s largest business organization will campaign to help defeat a measure that would legalize recreational marijuana and another one aimed at ethics reform.Greater North Dakota Chamber President and CEO Arik Spencer says his organization is among a coalition of groups being assembled to fight the proposals.
Campaign filings list the chamber as the contact for committees opposing the measures that will be decided in November.
Measure 1 would ban foreign money from North Dakota elections, restrict lobbying and create an independent ethics commission, among other provisions.
Spencer says it would be difficult to comply with the measure because it is too broadly worded.
He says making marijuana legal would create many problems for businesses and employees.
The chamber has more than 1,000 members.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The case of a North Dakota woman who bled to death when a neighbor cut her baby girl from her womb will be replayed in court this week when a second suspect in her killing goes to trial.
The disappearance of 22-year-old Savanna Greywind in 2017 sparked vigils and searches before her body was found in the Red River near Fargo.
Brooke Crews pleaded guilty in Greywind’s death and was sentenced to life without parole. Now her boyfriend, William Hoehn, will be tried on a conspiracy charge that also could bring a life sentence.
Hoehn has admitted covering up Greywind’s death but says he had nothing to do with her killing.
Greywind’s death focused attention on what advocates say is an overlooked problem of violence against Native American women.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Minot officials say the city’s new initiative aimed at fixing blighted and vacant properties has successfully assisted in the sale of more than a dozen lots.
The Minot Daily News reports that the 15 properties in Neighbor Next Door were acquired by the city through various state grants received between 2013 and 2016. The lots include homes seriously damaged from the 2011 Souris River flood and for which property owners lacked the funds for rehabilitation.
John Zakian manages Minot’s Disaster Resilience Grant Program. He says the Federal Emergency Management Agency encourages cities that experienced flooding to promote programs that result in reducing damage from future flooding. He says Minot is using a proactive approach by promoting the Neighbor Next Door program, which doesn’t allow structures to be built on parcels.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A historical society has received several land offers to relocate a Minot museum that’s being evicted from the North Dakota State Fairgrounds.
The Minot Daily News reports that the Ward County Historical Society will evaluate the land offered as new locations for the Pioneer Village Museum. The society’s President David Leite says the cost of relocating could be reduced to about $1 million if land is donated.
The historical society lost a civil suit this summer against the State Fair Association, which wants the museum removed from the fairgrounds. A judge ruled that the association owns the land where the museum is situated. The historical group had long resisted moving the museum.
Some representatives have indicated that the association wants the museum relocated by June 1, 2019.

Receiver Michael Thomas had two fourth-quarter touchdowns for the Saints after the Browns carried a nine-point lead into the period.
— Todd Gurley ran for three touchdowns and Jared Goff threw for 354 yards and a score in the Rams’ 34-0 blowout over the Cardinals.

— The 49ers were 30-27 winners over the Lions as Jimmy Garoppolo (gah-RAP’-ah-loh) threw two touchdown passes and Matt Breida ran for 138 yards. Garoppolo played turnover-free ball a week after throwing three interceptions in a 24-16 loss at Minnesota.

LPGA-EVIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Stanford wins
EVIAN-LES-BAINS, Switzerland (AP) — Angela Stanford ended her long wait for a first major title when her 3-under 68 was enough to win the Evian Championship by one shot Sunday after long-time leader Amy Olson made double-bogey on the 18th.
At age 40, and 15 years after she was runner-up at the U.S. Women’s Open, Stanford’s wild final few holes gave her a 12-under total of 272.
Stanford earned a $577,500 winner’s check.
