Update… Jamestown (JPD) – Jamestown Police Lt. Nick Hardy says the dangerous pit bull, ” Blaze,” was captured after biting a fifth person in Jamestown late Friday evening.
An individual was able to detain the dog in a garage and turn it over to officers and animal control.
About the same, time during an unrelated call for service, the owner of the dog was summoned to court for numerous animal violations, and for conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.
No further information will be released by police, until formal charges are filed.
On Friday, the Jamestown Police Department asked for the public’s help in locating “a dangerous red/brown 70-90 pound Pitbull with a white chest and feet.” At that time, the dog was last seen in the area of the Buffalo Motel in Jamestown around 2:00pm. Friday.
The police department had information that this animal had bitten at least three people in the last ten days, and four since September of 2018.
At last report, the most serious bite occurred Friday January 25 at approximately 2:00pm at the Buffalo Motel. That victim was treated for serious injuries at the Jamestown Regional Medical Center.
On Friday police had asked anyone with information on the whereabouts of this animal or sees this animal on the loose, to contact police, and not to approach or attempt to apprehend the animal.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Another school district in western North Dakota is hoping to adopt a modified four-day week.
The Billings County School Board’s plan must be approved by the state Department of Public Instruction, The Bismarck Tribune reported.
Joseph Kessel, School Board President, said the four-day idea first came along in 2015 with research from a committee. It was brought up again in 2017 after gathering feedback from public meetings and information from other schools and states.
“Over the course of the last year, a lot has been done to dive into it and find out what the strengths and the weaknesses are of it,” Kessel said.
Five public schools and one private school in North Dakota already operate on four-day weeks, including four in western North Dakota.
Shae Peplinski, Billings County School District Principal, stated the new school week would go to four days about six weeks after the 2019-20 year begins, with no modifications to the year’s start or end dates.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Legislature will take a closer look at itself this week with a pair of measures aimed at creating rules for a voter-approved constitutional amendment for government ethics oversight.
Also expected on the Legislature’s plate are proposals to reimburse lawmakers for meals, charge royalties on wasted natural gas, and measures to hold annual legislative sessions.
The Legislature has set aside the Capitol’s biggest meeting room on Wednesday to hear testimony on competing Republican and Democratic bills on how to comply with a voter-approved constitutional amendment to overhaul government ethics oversight.
The initiative has provisions to ban foreign money from elections, restrict lobbying and create an independent ethics commission, among other things.
The amendment was framed as anti-corruption. North Dakotans for Public Integrity, the backers of the initiative, say in a statement that the GOP bill does the opposite, by restricting transparency, setting “almost meaningless penalties” and making “a mockery of the people’s vote.”
The group has signaled legal action if the GOP bill becomes law.
House Majority Leader Chet Pollert and his Senate counterpart, Rich Wardner, say their bill “enacts the will of the voters while providing certainty to North Dakotans that they can participate in the democratic process.”
Democratic Sen. Tim Mathern is sponsoring separate legislation that backers believe is more in line with voters’ wishes, said Dina Butcher, who helped lead the initiative.
North Dakota is one of a handful of states without an ethics commission, which Democrats have unsuccessfully promoted for years in the GOP-led Legislature.
