Bismarck, ND – On Wednesday, Nov. 14, a ND Highway Patrol trooper stopped a pickup traveling east on I‐94 near mile marker 159 for exceeding the speed limit and
illegally tinted windows. During the stop, the trooper smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed 30 pounds of packaged marijuana, a small amount of hashish, and $1100 in cash.
The two suspects, UlisesRodriguez and Deandre Nixon, were traveling from Portland, Oregon to Pittsburgh, PA via Minneapolis. Both individuals were charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, possession of hashish, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota oil industry leaders are pushing to loosen the state’s oil conditioning regulations but an environmental group is arguing to tighten rules.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the North Dakota Industrial Commission is considering changing regulations adopted nearly four years ago to make Bakken crude oil safer for rail transportation after fiery train derailments. Companies must remove the most volatile gases from Bakken crude oil to ensure vapor pressure doesn’t exceed 13.7 pounds per square inch.
The commission is looking into reducing how often companies submit vapor pressure tests to regulators.
The North Dakota Petroleum Council urged the commission at a hearing Tuesday to require tests to be submitted annually instead of quarterly.
But the Dakota Resource Council says current rules are insufficient and the vapor pressure threshold should be set higher.
In world and national news..
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. Treasury Department is adding economic sanctions to the travel bans already in place against 17 Saudis accused of taking part in the October slaying of writer Jamal Khashoggi inside their country’s consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
The new sanctions freeze any assets the 17 may have in the U.S. and prohibit any Americans from doing business with them. The sanctions were announced Thursday. One of the men is a top aide to Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman.
U.S. officials say they have pressed the Saudi government for a full investigation into the killing of Khashoggi. Turkish and Saudi authorities say the U.S.-based columnist for The Washington Post was killed by a team from the kingdom inside the consulate after he went there to get marriage documents.
Saudi authorities have 21 people in custody and the country’s top prosecutor said he would seek the death penalty for five of the suspects.
DETROIT (AP) — Testing by AAA shows that electronic driver assist systems on the road today may not keep vehicles in their lanes or spot stationary objects in time to avoid a crash.
The tests brought a warning from the auto club that drivers shouldn’t think that the systems make their vehicles self-driving, and that they should always be ready to take control.
AAA also said that use of the word “pilot” by automakers in naming their systems can make some owners believe the vehicles can drive themselves.
“These systems are made as an aid to driving, they are not autonomous, despite all of the hype around vehicle autonomy,” said Greg Brannon, AAA’s director of automotive engineering. “Clearly having ‘pilot’ in the name may imply a level of unaided driving, which is not correct for the current state of the development of these systems.”
The test results released Thursday come after several highly publicized crashes involving Tesla vehicles that were operating on the company’s system named “Autopilot.” The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating some of the crashes, including a March fatality that involved a Model X that struck a freeway barrier near Mountain View, California.
NEW YORK (AP) — One of the first big storms of the season moved across the eastern half of the country Thursday, causing deadly traffic crashes and closing schools as it dropped snow as far south as central Alabama.
As much as 8 inches (20 centimeters) of snow blanketed the St. Louis area, and forecasters predicted up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) in parts of southern New England as the storm made its way east. Roads were already clogged by midday Thursday in Ohio, where officials reported at least one traffic death that was likely weather-related.
As the storm hit with Thanksgiving still a week away, school districts closed or sent students home early across the lower Great Lakes and the Northeast. The University of Connecticut canceled classes starting at 3:30 p.m. or later at its main campus, satellite campuses and law school.
The South, where weather officials said the overnight trace in Alabama missed setting a record for earliest snow by about two weeks, began to clean up.
In Mississippi, a tour bus bound for a casino overturned, killing two people and injuring 44 others. And in the Little Rock, Arkansas, area, three people were killed in separate crashes on icy roads Wednesday night, while Interstate 40 was shut down overnight in the eastern part of the state because of several crashes. The interstate reopened shortly before daybreak Thursday, but officials said traffic was slow-going because some drivers had fallen asleep.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Florida counties have reached the deadline for submitting the results of their election recounts.
A federal judge earlier rejected a request to give counties more time beyond the 3 p.m. Thursday deadline to finish their recounts. Palm Beach County’s election supervisor had warned that the county would not be able to complete the recount on time.
The election will be certified Tuesday.
The state’s 67 counties were required to do machine recounts of more than 8 million ballots cast in the contentious midterms. The U.S. Senate and governor’s races were among the three within the vote margin to trigger a machine recount.
Several lawsuits have been filed by Democrats and Republicans in the wake of the close election.
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Members of a migrant caravan started to meet some local resistance as they continued to arrive by the hundreds in the Mexican border city of Tijuana, where a group of residents clashed with migrants camped out by the U.S. border fence.
About 100 migrants declined offers of rides to shelters and had camped out late Wednesday by the steel border fence at Tijuana’s beach area, when a similar number of local residents marched up to the group shouting, “You’re not welcome,” and, “Get out!”
Police kept the two sides apart.
Vladimir Cruz, a migrant from El Salvador, said Thursday, “These people are the racists, because 95 percent of people here support us.”
“It is just this little group that doesn’t support us,” Cruz said. “They are uncomfortable because we’re here.”
Playas de Tijuana, as the area is known, is an upper-middle-class enclave, and residents appeared worried about crime and sanitation. One protester shouted, “This isn’t about discrimination, it is about safety!”
There are real questions about how the city of Tijuana will manage to handle the migrant caravans working their way up through Mexico, and which may total 10,000 people in all.
