Bismarck (NDHP) — Early on Monday, the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) located a stolen vehicle traveling westbound along Interstate 94 near Sterling that had previously fled from the Jamestown Police Department.
When the NDHP attempted to pull the vehicle over, it fled west at a high rate of speed. The vehicle’s tires were spiked with a tire deflation device east of Bismarck. The vehicle continued west on Interstate 94 toward Bismarck with two of its tires disabled.
The Bismarck Police Department blocked Exit 161 so the vehicle could not exit. Deputies with the Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department attempted to stop the vehicle with a rolling road block. The NDHP then utilized a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) maneuver on the vehicle near Exit 159 (State Street). The vehicle went into the ditch where it stopped. Two occupants were taken into custody at 7:37 am CST.
This incident remains under investigation by the North Dakota Highway Patrol.
The NDHP was assisted by the Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department and the Bismarck Police Department.

North Dakota’s approved medical marijuana forms are dried leaves and flowers, concentrates, tinctures, capsules, topicals and transdermal patches. The North Dakota House in February voted 72-21 in favor of adding edibles. Monday’s Senate vote was 28-17 in favor, but the bill needed 31 votes to pass. A two-thirds majority is required to change a law that North Dakotans initiate and pass, which they did with medical marijuana in 2016.
The Health Department has been setting up a system since the 2017 Legislature crafted regulations for the drug’s use. Patients could begin applying for state cards last October, and North Dakota’s first medical marijuana dispensary opened March 1 in Fargo . Dispensaries are expected to be operating in the state’s other seven major cities by fall.
Both the House and Senate have passed bills this session aimed at increasing the number of North Dakota residents who can legally use medical marijuana and making it easier for patients to get the necessary credentials for the drug. The House on Monday also passed a Senate bill that removes a 1,000-plant limit for a manufacturing facility, provided the facility pays an additional state fee.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham says he told President Donald Trump that the late Sen. John McCain “deserves better” than the president’s harsh criticism.
The South Carolina Republican said Monday that Trump blames McCain for the Russia investigation. The former Arizona senator had turned over to the FBI a salacious dossier he received about Trump’s activities in Russia. McCain died last year.
Says Graham: “Trump believes it was the McCain people who spread this.”
But Graham says he told Trump, “it was not John McCain.”
Graham and McCain were dear friends, but parted ways over Trump. Graham is now close to Trump and spent the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago club.
Graham said McCain did “exactly what he should have done” in giving the dossier to authorities.
Trump publicly criticized McCain last week.
MOSCOW (AP) — A senior Russian lawmaker has welcomed the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian involvement in the U.S. presidential election, saying this gives the countries a chance to mend ties.
Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the upper chamber of the Russian parliament, said in a social media post on Monday that Mueller’s probe was accompanied by “two years of incessant lies,” but proved that there was no collusion, something that “we in Russia knew from the start.”
Mueller’s report found no evidence that U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign conspired with Russian officials to influence the 2016 elections.
Kosachev said the conclusion of the investigation gives Trump enough space to repair ties with Russia, but he said he is uncertain if Trump will “take this risk.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. prosecutors have charged President Donald Trump critic and attorney Michael Avenatti with extortion and bank and wire fraud.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles said Avenatti was arrested Monday in New York.
Spokesman Ciaran McEvoy says the lawyer best known for representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against President Donald Trump faces federal charges in New York and California.
In New York, he was accused of threatening to use his ability to get publicity to harm Nike. Prosecutors say he demanded that the apparel company give him $10 million.
Prosecutors in California planned to release more details at a news conference later Monday.
Avenatti represented Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in a lawsuit to break a confidentiality agreement to speak about her alleged affair with Trump
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Police say the father of one of the 20 children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut has been found dead of an apparent suicide.
Newtown police say the body of 49-year-old Jeremy Richman was found Monday morning inside Newtown’s Edmond Town Hall, where he had an office. An autopsy is expected Monday.
Richman was the father of Avielle Richman, one of the first-graders killed along with six educators in the shooting on Dec. 14, 2012. He and his wife created The Avielle Foundation, a group dedicating to preventing violence by seeking a better understanding of brain health.
Police Lt. Aaron Bahamonde called Richman’s death heartbreaking for the family and town.
Richman’s death comes as officials in Parkland, Florida, are publicizing counseling services after two survivors of a high school massacre there killed themselves.
JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.N. says Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “gravely concerned” at the latest developments in Gaza and is urging Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers “to exercise maximum restraint.”
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric called Monday’s firing of a rocket from Gaza that hit a house in central Israel, wounding seven people, “a serious and unacceptable violation.” He said the U.N. is monitoring the latest reports of Israeli strikes on Gaza.
Dujarric said the U.N. is continuing to work with Egypt and other concerned parties to try to de-escalate the situation. He says “further escalation is likely to make an already bad situation worse, in particular for civilians in and close to Gaza.”
Dujarric noted that U.N. Mideast envoy Nikolay Mladenov will meet Guterres and brief the U.N. Security Council Tuesday, as previously scheduled.
BEIRA, Mozambique (AP) — The United States military says President Donald Trump has directed it to support relief efforts to help Mozambique with the destruction caused by Cyclone Idai more than a week ago.
The U.S. Africa Command statement comes three days after Mozambique’s government made a formal request to the international community for aid. The southern Africa nation earlier declared a national disaster as its president said deaths from the cyclone could reach 1,000. Confirmed deaths are now close to 450.
The U.S. statement says AFRICOM provides disaster relief “when it has unique capabilities that can be utilized in the U.S. Government’s response.”
It says the Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa will lead the U.S. military efforts and that its initial assessments have begun at the scene of the disaster.
