Cass County (KFGO) – Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner says a man and a woman have been captured following an early Thursday morning theft at the Jamestown Walmart, followed by a high-speed chase into the Embden area. The thieves got away with about $60,000 in merchandise, mostly electronics.
Jamestown Assistant Police Chief Justin Blinsky tells KFGO News police responded to the report of a theft at the Walmart shortly before 3 a.m. Officers had a description of the vehicle, which was found minutes later.
An officer attempted a traffic stop but the driver refused to pull over and headed east on the interstate with Jamestown police pursuing the vehicle. Speeds were in excess of 100 mph.
Police broke off the pursuit once into Barnes County as the state patrol took over. Cass County deputies got involved once the vehicle entered the county. The suspects’ vehicle was found after it became stuck in mud.
KVLY reports that during the search the Cass County Sheriff’s Office issued a shelter in place, telling people to keep cars and buildings locked and to call 911 if anyone saw anything suspicious.
Both suspects are from Detroit, Michigan. Twenty-two-year-old Dejon Johnson and 21-year-old Tiffaney Simmons are facing burglary and criminal mischief charges.
The suspects were found eventually located in an abandoned house, about two miles away from their abandoned car, north of Chaffee, N.D.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Health Department has chosen operators for medical marijuana dispensaries in Devils Lake, Dickinson, Jamestown and Minot.
Those operators must still go through the registration process and meet all state requirements.
The Health Department earlier named operators for dispensaries in Fargo, Grand Forks, Bismarck and Williston. The Fargo facility opened for business on March 1.
State Medical Marijuana Division Director Jason Wahl says all eight dispensaries are expected to be operating by the end of the year.
North Dakota voters approved the drug in November 2016. The Health Department has been working on the system since lawmakers crafted initial rules in early 2017. The rules are being fine-tuned during the current legislative session.
The state expects as many as 4,000 residents will legally be using medical marijuana by summer 2021.

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Police on Thursday declined to release details of a 911 call that alerted authorities to the slayings of four people at a North Dakota business, a mystery about which little information has been disclosed.
The bodies of an owner and three employees were found early Monday at RJR Maintenance and Management in Mandan, a city of 22,000 people just across the Missouri River from the state capital of Bismarck. Police haven’t said how they were killed or suggested a possible motive, and they haven’t identified any suspects. They have said the killer is not among the dead, but maintain that the public is not in danger.
The Associated Press and other media outlets asked for audio and a transcript of the 911 call, but police denied the requests, citing a provision of the state’s open records law that allows authorities to withhold such information during an active investigation.
Deputy Police Chief Lori Flaten did confirm that a Wednesday search in a field about half a mile from the business was related to the investigation. State and local police at the scene were “looking for potential evidence,” she said, without elaborating.
Police have identified the dead as Robert Fakler, 52, co-owner of the property management business; employee Adam Fuehrer, 42; and married workers Lois Cobb, 45, and William Cobb, 50. A combined memorial service will be held Tuesday at Bismarck Community Church, according to Eastgate Funeral and Cremation Service.
In world and national news…
NEW YORK (AP) — Elon Musk and his lawyers were appearing before a federal judge in New York who will decide whether the Tesla CEO should be held in contempt of court for violating an agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Musk said Thursday as he entered a courthouse in Manhattan that he has great respect for the justice system and thinks judges in the American system are outstanding.
The judge began hearing arguments at around 2 p.m.
The SEC says Musk violated a settlement with the SEC when he tweeted about Tesla’s vehicle production in February without a lawyer’s approval.
A previous tweet about a possible plan to take the company private led to the original round of problems with the SEC.
As of Wednesday’s close, Tesla shares were down 12.3% so far this year.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to end American involvement in the Yemen war, rebuffing the Trump administration’s support for the military campaign led by Saudi Arabia.
The bill now heads to President Donald Trump, who’s expected to veto it. The White House says the bill raises “serious constitutional concerns.”
It’s the first time Congress has invoked the decades-old War Powers Resolution to try and stop a foreign conflict.
The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — New York Rep. Eliot Engel — says Congress “is no longer going to ignore its constitutional obligations when it comes to foreign policy.”
The war is in its fifth year. Thousands have been killed and millions are on the brink of starvation, creating what the United Nations calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Police in the Illinois hometown of a boy missing since 2011 say they can’t yet confirm that he is in fact a teenager found wandering in Kentucky.
The Aurora police department says they are assisting an FBI investigation and hope to have something more definitive later Thursday.
Authorities are trying to confirm the identity of a 14-year-old boy who told police in Newport, Kentucky, that he escaped two kidnappers in the Cincinnati area and ran across a bridge. He said his name is Timmothy Pitzen.
In 2011, Timmothy Pitzen’s mother killed herself, leaving a note saying her son was fine but that no one would ever find him. Timmothy was 6 years old.
Aurora police sent two detectives to check out the teenager’s story. Timmothy’s grandmother and an aunt said that police were using DNA testing.
LONDON (AP) — Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar says the European Union is determined to avoid the return of a hard border with Northern Ireland in the event of a disorderly Brexit.
But he acknowledged it is unclear how that can be achieved. Varadkar says that because of all the uncertainty, “it’s not possible, quite frankly, to have a clear plan.”
He spoke in Dublin Thursday after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The two leaders visited the currently invisible border to meet people whose lives and livelihoods would be disrupted by the return of customs posts and other obstacles.
Merkel said “we simply have to be successful” in keeping the border open, and “where there’s a will there’s a way.”
The two leaders said they hoped cross-party talks in London aimed at finding a compromise Brexit deal would succeed. Merkel said “we are following this with great interest.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is threatening to slap tariffs on cars produced in Mexico unless the country does more to stop migrants trying to enter the U.S.
Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday that if that “powerful incentive” but “less drastic measure” doesn’t work, he’ll go through with his standing threat to close the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Republican president had threatened last week to close the border this week unless Mexico immediately halted “ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States.” He has since praised the country for doing more.
Trump also is threatening tariffs if Mexico doesn’t halt the flow of illegal drugs across the border. And he says he’s giving Mexico “a one year warning” to comply.
He says: “I’ll do it. I don’t play games”
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has named Atlanta Archbishop Wilton Gregory as the new archbishop of Washington D.C., choosing a moderate, and the first African-American, to lead the archdiocese that has become the epicenter of the clergy sex abuse crisis in the U.S.
The 71-year-old Gregory replaces Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who resigned last year after being implicated in covering up abuse by a Pennsylvania grand jury report.
Gregory headed the U.S. bishops conference when it adopted a “zero-tolerance” abuse policy in 2002 to respond to the first wave of the scandal. He has run the Atlanta archdiocese since 2005 and is seen as a pastor very much in line with Francis’ progressive vision of the church.
The Vatican on Thursday announced the appointment, which was first reported by Catholic News Agency.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A group that represents members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with gay and lesbian children says the repeal of 2015 baptism rules is a good first step. But she says pain caused by the policy banning the baptism for kids of gay parents still lingers.
Lisa Dame with the Mama Dragons organization said Thursday the original 2015 rule banning the baptisms sent waves of heartache through LGBTQ members of the church and their families.
She says the reversal is an answer to prayers but that full healing will take time and noted that the church did not issue a formal apology for the 2015 policy.
The church’s doctrinal opposition to same-sex marriage and sexual relations has not changed.
Dame is a heterosexual Mormon. She has five children, including a 33-year-old daughter who is a lesbian
