Jamestown (KVLY) 32-year-old Jason Benefiel is charged with one felony count of attempted murder, in Southeast District Court, as well as two felony counts of aggravated assault after an attack at the North Dakota State Hospital on March 29.

Court documents say the victim is a staff member at the facility. The victim told officers that she was cleaning the bathrooms when she felt an arm come around her neck and choke her, making her unable to scream. She said she was drug backwards down a hallway that leads to the showers.

She said she remembers the man hitting her, and then the next thing she remembers is opening her eyes to see staff around her.

Documents say the victim suffered two large lacerations to her face, a fractured septum and had loss consciousness.

Two staff members witnessed the assault and told police they saw Benefiel kick the victim. When the two staffers went to take control of the situation, they told police Benefiel was standing over the victim covered in blood.

Benefiel told police he struck the victim 9 times. Later in the investigation, it was discovered Benefiel had reported to State Hospital staff members that he wanted to kill or assault someone and was struggling to control those thoughts.

Benefiel, is being held in the Stutsman County Correctional Center.

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Police on Tuesday identified the owner of a North Dakota property management business and three employees as the people whose bodies were found there a day earlier, and said they don’t yet have a suspect in the attack.

Chief Jason Ziegler didn’t say how the victims died and gave little additional detail on the investigation, except to say again that authorities don’t believe the public is at risk. He declined to talk about motive and said no weapon was recovered.

“This incident was specific to the victims,” Ziegler said. “We do not believe the public is in danger.”

Police found the bodies Monday morning after a medical call to RJR Maintenance and Management. Ziegler identified the dead as owner Robert Fakler, 52; and employees Adam Fuehrer, 42, Lois Cobb, 45, and William Cobb, 50.

Briann Miller had identified the Cobbs — her mother and stepfather — to The Associated Press as victims of the attack. She said authorities gave her no details on how they died.

“I just know that it was an attack,” Miller said. “I don’t know how it happened, what it happened with. I’m left in the dark still. None of this makes any sense. All I know is my parents are gone.”

Ziegler said investigators were reviewing video from the scene and surrounding areas. He appealed for the public’s help.

Miller, of Girard, Illinois, said the Cobbs had moved from Illinois to North Dakota about six years ago and had just bought their dream home. She said they never gave any indication to her of any problems at work.

On Tuesday, the front door to RJR Maintenance and Management was locked and only one police officer remained visibly on scene a day after the bodies of three men and one woman were found at the business. A couple of people showed up to drop off rent payments.

Mandan is a city of about 22,000 just across the Missouri River west of Bismarck, the state’s capital and home to about 73,000 people.

Officers on Monday combed through the building, which includes an office area in the front and a large warehouse area in the back.

Ziegler said Monday that he was not aware of officers responding to any other recent incidents at the business that might have been connected to the killings.

The business is somewhat isolated despite its location in a business district near a busy main road known as The Strip. A large empty lot sits in the front, a golf course in back and a soccer complex to one side.

RJR’s website identified it as a family-owned company that has been handling commercial and residential properties in Bismarck and Mandan for more than 20 years. Its services include collecting rent for landlords, paying mortgages, re-renting apartments, building and grounds maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal. It also rents out storage units.

A “Meet Our Team” feature on the website pictured 22 employees.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A woman who was dealing oxycodone in Minot has been sent to prison for two years.

A judge sentenced 27-year-old Michelle Red Eagle to five years in prison and suspended three of those years. She will also serve 18 months of probation.

Court documents say Red Eagle sold 10 oxycodone tablets for $600 to a confidential informant working with the Ward County Narcotics Task Force in December 2017. Red Eagle wasn’t charged until last August and didn’t make an initial appearance until February.

The Minot Daily News says North Central District Court Judge Richard Hagar also ordered Red Eagle to pay $1,255 in restitution and court costs.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Federal officials are reviewing the Fargo Public School District’s use of seclusion and restraint on children with disabilities.

The district must provide two years of data on its practices by Friday, and the agency review could take up to a year.

The Department of Education has asked its Office of Civil Rights to evaluate the use of restraint and seclusion in one school district in every state to ensure compliance with federal laws, so the review doesn’t mean Fargo is necessarily at fault.

However, an advocate for people with disabilities in Fargo says there has been an increase this year in parent complaints about the treatment of upper grade and middle school students. Brenda Ruehl says most of the complaints involve the restraint of students on the autism spectrum.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Some Republican North Dakota House members abstained Tuesday from an opening floor session prayer by a Hindu cleric, marking the second time in recent years some GOP representatives have objected to an invocation from a non-Christian.Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism in Nevada, offered prayer as the guest chaplain in the House, a day after delivered the invocation in the Senate without incident.Lutheran pastor and freshman Rep. Jeff Hoverson of Minot sat at the back of the chamber to “protest” the prayer.”I don’t want to be compelled to pray to a false god,” Hoverson said. A handful of other lawmakers also stood or sat at the back of the chamber during the prayer, which was the first in the chamber by a Hindu. The lawmakers returned to their seats on the floor when the prayer was over.Hoverson said he met with Zed prior to floor session to tell him his protest “was nothing personal.” He said the two hugged, exchanged handshakes and business cards.The Senate and House convene daily with a prayer by the chamber’s guest chaplains followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.Zed, who is a native of India, said he has delivered prayers in about 17 statehouses and the U.S. Senate, where in 2007 his first official prayer was interrupted by several Christian activists who had to be restrained by the sergeant at arms and were later arrested.In his prayer, which was identical in both North Dakota chambers, Zed told lawmakers in Sanskrit and English to “do your work with the welfare of others in mind.”Zed wore an orange robe and paint on his forehead that he said symbolized auspiciousness.Four years ago, the Council on American-Islamic Relations was unsuccessful in wanting North Dakota House Republicans to apologize for canceling a Muslim’s opening floor session prayer on Ash Wednesday and having a Christian deliver the invocation instead.Dr. Nadim Koleilat, a surgeon in Bismarck and president of the city’s Muslim Community Center, went across the hall and delivered the invocation to the state Senate, without objection from the lawmakers in that chamber.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum won his first veto fight of the session with the North Dakota Legislature, after the GOP-led House sustained his veto of a bill that would have raised driver’s license fees for the first time in more than 30 years.Only 44 of the 94 House members voted Tuesday to override the first-term governor, well short of the two-thirds necessary. The vote came after the GOP-led Senate voted 41-4 to override Burgum last week.The House and Senate easily passed the legislation that raises commercial and non-commercial driver’s license fees from $15 to $30.Burgum says the increase in fees “imposes an unnecessary additional burden on our residents.”Burgum vetoed parts or all of 13 bills last session. Attempts to override four of the vetoes failed. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s House has reconsidered and passed a resolution that would expand the state’s higher education board from eight to 15 members.The House approved the Senate resolution 50-41 on Tuesday, one day after defeating it 46-42.The House last month rejected legislation supported by Gov. Doug Burgum to change the state’s higher education governance from one board to two.Burgum wanted multiple boards, saying it would make North Dakota’s 11 colleges and universities more accountable.Backers say the resolution to extend the board was a compromise.Voters must ultimately approve any changes to the higher education board because its structure is outlined in the state constitution.

(AP) — North Dakota’s first weekly crop report has good news for farmers and ranchers.The Agriculture Department says topsoil moisture supplies were rated 94 percent adequate or surplus and subsoil moisture supplies were tabbed at 82 percent adequate or surplus.The report says that on average, producers intended to begin fieldwork on April 25.Cattle and calf conditions were rated 74 percent good or excellent.

MITCHELL, S.D (uj.edu)  — Matt Meraz (JR/Aurora, CO) went 3-for-3 and drove in three runs, including the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh, as the University of Jamestown baseball team defeated Dakota Wesleyan University 4-3 Tuesday afternoon.

The Jimmies took three of four games from the Tigers and improve to 18-10 overall and 8-4 in Great Plains Athletic Conference action. Dakota Wesleyan falls to 11-16 overall and 5-7 in the GPAC.

DWU’s Ethan Davis and UJ’s Tanner Roundy (SR/Henderson, NV) traded zeroes on the scoreboard as the game remained scoreless until the bottom of the sixth.

Grant Okawa (JR/Mississauga, ON) singled with one out, then one batter later Meraz homered to make it 2-0 in favor of the Jimmies. Jaden Yackley (SR/Lynnwood, Wash.) doubled in another run as UJ pushed the lead to 3-0.

The Tigers got back-to-back singles from Drew Demers and Chandler Bakley to open the seventh against Roundy, then Reed Harter connected on a three-run home run to tie the game. Joe Harris (SO/Recluse, WY) (3-1) relieved Roundy and struck out the side to end the DWU rally.

In the Jamestown seventh, Roundy led off with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball. Drake Pilat (SR/Winnipeg, MB, Canada) singled, moving Roundy to third. Grant Okawa grounded out but allowed pinch-runner Ben Pedigo (SO/Olympia, WA) to move up a base. Meraz then came through with a single to bring home Roundy and give the Jimmies their third straight victory and sixth in their last seven games.

Pilat, Roundy, and Okawa all went 2-for-4. Chase Hacker (JR/Millcreek, WA), Braxton Hewitt (FR/Carrington, ND), Brock Anderson (SO/Cheyenne, WY), and Jared Bentley (JR/Washougal, WA) also had hits for Jamestown.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he is taking a wait-and-see approach when it comes to his threat to close the southern border as soon as this week.

Trump is telling reporters as he meets with NATO’s secretary general that he’s pleased with steps that Mexico has taken in recent days and that, “We’re going to see what happens.”

But he says that he’s “ready to close it” if he has to and will do so if Mexico stops helping or if he fails to reach a deal with Congress to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws.”

Trump is bemoaning current regulations and says: “We’re going to have a strong border or we’re going to have a closed border.”

 

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The surge of migrants arriving at the southern border has led the Trump administration to dramatically expand a practice it has long mocked as “catch and release.”

With processing and holding centers overwhelmed, the administration is busing migrants hundreds of miles inland and releasing them at Greyhound stations and churches in cities like Albuquerque, San Antonio and Phoenix because relief organizations in towns close to the border cannot keep up with the flow.

Since Dec. 21, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has set free about 108,500 people who came as families. On some days, more than 1,000 people were released in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley alone.

San Antonio received part of that surge in recent days, forcing the city to open a help center for migrants arriving at the downtown bus station.

 

 

NEW YORK (AP) — A recent wave of cases of a mysterious paralyzing illness among children has waned. But U.S. health officials are accelerating their efforts to find a cause and a treatment.

In a medical journal article published Tuesday, some of the federal government’s top infectious disease scientists say the problem seems to be getting worse. They say additional, larger waves are likely.

Hundreds of U.S. families have already been affected. Children have lost the use of arms and legs and even the ability to swallow and breathe. Many continue to have trouble.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says at least 228 Americans last year were confirmed to have the illness, called acute flaccid myelitis.

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is back to promising a “great health care package” to replace the Affordable Care Act.

This time, he’s emphasizing that it will come after the 2020 election.

Trump unexpectedly pivoted to the health care issue last week and claimed the GOP would be the party of health care. He listed a handful of GOP senators who would help craft the Republican health care proposal.

On Tuesday, he said, “I wanted to put it after the election because we don’t have the House.”

Trump spoke to reporters during an Oval Office meeting with NATO’s secretary general.

The issue of health care, especially protections for people with pre-existing conditions, resonates with voters and helped Democrats in the November elections. Trump is predicting that Republicans will take back the House and keep the Senate in 2020.

 

 

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina elected official who helped a criminal probe that led to charges against the state Republican Party chairman and a big-time donor says he acted at the direction of federal investigators.

Republican state Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey talked to The Associated Press on Tuesday, shortly after a federal grand jury’s indictment against four people was made public.

The indictment describes Causey as being involved in conversations and meetings with investment firm founder Greg Lindberg, Lindberg’s associates and state GOP Chairman Robin Hayes. Prosecutors said they promised Causey campaign dollars in exchange for things Lindberg wanted.

Causey wasn’t charged. He says he’s not the target of any investigation. He says he had contacted federal investigators because his agency was having issues with Lindberg’s insurance-related firms.

Causey previously returned a donation from Lindberg. Causey took other donations from the state GOP, which had connections to Lindberg, and gave them to the federal government.

 

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Joe Biden’s sometimes too-affectionate politicking style is not disqualifying for a presidential bid but she has some advice for the former vice president and potential candidate: “Join the straight-arm club.”

In other words, keep your handshakes at arms’ length and don’t be touchy-feely.

Pelosi told a breakfast-hour crowd at a Politico event in Washington that Biden “has to understand that in the world we are in now people’s space is important to them.”

Pelosi also suggested that Biden’s apologies could have been better, telling the group that “what’s important is how they receive it, not necessarily how you intended it.”

Biden has been accused of being overly familiar in his dealings with women — rubbing women’s shoulders in public, kissing the back of one woman’s head, and rubbing noses with another — but not of assault or harassment.
