The caller provided a description of the male and a description of the vehicle that he arrived in.Jamestown Police Officers responded to the area and made contact with the male, who was sitting inside his 2004 Chevy Suburban. The officers spoke to the male and during this time, established probable cause to arrest the subject and conduct a search of his vehicle. The male refused to comply with officers’ orders to get out of his vehicle and resisted officers, as they attempted to remove him from the vehicle. As the suspect resisted arrest, he lunged down in his vehicle where he grabbed a handgun.
Jamestown Police Officers were able to immediately disarm the suspect and the handgun dropped to the ground, as the suspect was taken into custody. There were no other occupants in the car.
One Jamestown Police Officer received minor injuries during the altercation. The firearm was loaded and safely secured and seized by the Police, after the suspect was in custody.
The suspect has been identified as 47-year-old Ray Anthony Hunter from Jamestown. Hunter has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of Felony Reckless Endangerment; Felony Preventing Arrest; Simple Assault on a Peace Officer; Possession of a Concealed Weapon; Possession of Methamphetamine; and Possession of Marijuana. Hunter was transported to Stutsman County Corrections, where he is awaiting formal charges.
(The Stutsman County State’s Attorney’s Office said Friday afternoon, that Hunter may be formally charged Monday morning.)

Bismarck (uj.edu) Governor Doug Burgum signed HB 1384 which expands the Private Education Tax Credit to individuals and increases the cap from 20% to 25% of the taxpayers’ income tax, up to $2500 for contributions made to private schools in North Dakota.University of Jamestown President Polly Peterson, says “We appreciate the support we received from our local legislators, Senator Terry Wanzek, Senator John Grabinger, Representatives Chet Pollert, Jim Grueneich, Bernie Satrom, and Craig Headland and to bill sponsor Senator Nethe,” Thank you for recognizing the economic contribution that private education makes to the state of North Dakota and the community of Jamestown.”
Pictured are ND Governor Doug Burgum, University of Jamestown President Dr. Polly Peterson and University of Mary President Monsignor James Shea.
Established in 1883, the University of Jamestown is a private, liberal arts university granting Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Science in Nursing degrees, as well as Master’s Degrees in Education, Leadership, Clinical Counseling, and a Fargo-based Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. With the Jamestown Journey to Success, emphasis is placed not only on preparing students academically in their chosen areas of study, but also on preparing them through a student-centered experience.
Jamestown (CSi) The week of April 29th has been designated “Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week” for the State of North Dakota. This annual event is intended to remind the public of the dangers associated with severe summer weather. And as the weather warms up, the potential for severe summer weather will rapidly intensify.
Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Stutsman County Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist said, as part of the week’s observance, on Wednesday May 1, 2019 a Tornado Drill will be held at approximately 11:15-a.m.
Local law enforcement and first responders will follow the proceedures in place, as if an actual tornado warning was in effect. The CSi Cable interrupt system, activated by the Law Enforcement Center in Jamestown will also be tested during the drill. Warning sirens in Jamestown and Stutsman County will also be tested at that time.
He pointed out that the warning siren at Frontier Village has been replaced by a new nearby rotating siren located west of the water plant, that provides more coverage to Southwest Jamestown.
Jerry added, to help prepare, for severe weather, the Bismarck National Weather Service has scheduled a SKYWARN Weather Spotter Training Class for Monday, April 29th, 7:00 p.m., in the lower level of the Law Enforcement Center in Jamestown. The class is free and open to anyone who wants to become more familiar with severe summer weather in North Dakota.
The approximately two-hour class will focus on recognizing and understanding the different types of severe summer weather including: lightning, thunderstorms, down-burst winds, flash floods, hail, and tornadoes. All of which, can cause severe property damage, personal injury, and even death.
Attending this class does not require an individual to become an official National Weather Service weather spotter. If you’ve attended this class in the past, attend again. It’s a great refresher that keeps you aware of the types of severe summer weather events in North Dakota.
For more information contact the Stutsman County Emergency Manager’s Office at 701-252-9093.
Also on our show, Jerry said, Jamestown High School’s Teen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Disaster Drill Exercise and Graduation will be held on Thursday May 2, 2019 at the Jamestown High School Gymnasium.
This spring, 95 JHS freshmen students participated in the Teen CERT program. These students have been learning how to respond and take care of themselves, their family and their neighbors in the event of a disaster. This hands-on course has taught students about emergency preparedness, fire safety, medical triage, disaster medical, search and rescue, disaster psychology, and terrorism by professional emergency responders from Stutsman County.
As the ninth year of JHS Teen CERT comes to a close, these freshmen will participate in a disaster exercise where they will be acting as the responders during a simulated bleacher collapse scenario. This will give each of them the opportunity to utilize the skills that they have learned throughout this 6-week program. The event will be overseen by personnel from various local emergency response agencies and school staff. The JHS Drama students will be performing as the injured victims in the scenario. Each of the Teen CERT students will also be presented with Certificates of Completion in a graduation ceremony.
Due to the number of students in the program, the classes have been separated into two groups, each with their own exercise and graduation.

CASSELTON, N.D. (AP) — Sheriff’s officials say a suspected drunken driver is in custody after leading deputies on an interstate chase in Cass County.
Deputies responded to a report of a driver swerving from lane to lane on Interstate 94 early Saturday near Casselton. Speeds during a brief chase approached 100 miles an hour. The vehicle eventually left the interstate and landed in a ditch.
KFGO reports the male driver was taken to Sanford Hospital in Fargo, then to jail.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota lawmakers wrapped up their session with a record $14.7 billion budget spurred by a rebounding economy due largely to strong oil prices and production. Lawmakers approved about 500 bills — and talked about many more that didn’t pass.
Some new laws that garnered attention included repealing a ban on Sunday shopping, redirecting millions of dollars of oil tax money to benefit water projects and schools, and approving a major spending plan for infrastructure projects outside of the oil patch.
Lawmakers passed an initiative to make it more difficult for citizens to amend the state constitution, a move that will go to the voters next year. Citizens will also decide if expanding the state’s higher education board is a good idea.
Among the bills that failed was another in a long line of initiatives to prohibit housing or workforce discrimination based on sexual orientation.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican House Majority Leader Chet Pollert has been elected as the chairman of the Legislative Management committee.
Pollert, of Carrington, was selected to the 17-member committee, which includes Senate and House floor leaders from both parties, that oversees the Legislature’s business between sessions. The group met after the Legislature adjourned late Friday night.
The former chairman, GOP Sen. Ray Holmberg, of Grand Forks, was elected vice chair.
Republicans hold more than two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate, and they control the study and committee selection process. Pollert told The Associated Press Saturday that he intends to appoint some Democrats to head interim committees.
The committee has scheduled its first meeting on May 28.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — An attorney for one of two former Minot nurses accused of stealing prescribed drugs for hospice patients has asked for a change of plea hearing.
Forty-year-old April Beckler, now of Fargo, and 47-year-old Kim Kochel, of Minot, have pleaded not guilty to felony charges related to theft and endangering a vulnerable adult. Trial has been scheduled for May 6.
The Minot Daily News reports that Beckler’s attorney asked for the plea hearing, which is scheduled Wednesday.
Kochel and Beckler are accused of stealing the drugs between December 2012 and September 2014 while working for Trinity Hospice.
Kochel’s lawyer, Tom Slorby, had asked to be removed from the case because his client cannot pay his fees. Judge Todd Cresap says Slorby must represent Kochel because it is so close to trial.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department could soon administer a new program to prevent the spread of invasive species in the state’s waterways after a proposal to fund the project gained approval from the Legislature.
The Minot Daily News reports that the bill to authorize $1.5 million for an aquatic nuisance species prevention program is awaiting final approval from Gov. Doug Burgum.
Aquatic nuisance species include a variety of plant and animal species, such as zebra mussels and Eurasian watermilfoil. Invasive zebra mussels are known to spread by clinging to boats and being transported from one body of water to another.
They’ve been found in many lakes in neighboring Minnesota and in the Red River by North Dakota’s eastern border.
The department’s deputy director, Scott Peterson, says the bill’s passage will help the state manage its risk.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Greenpeace is dropping an effort to move a lawsuit alleging it conspired against the Dakota Access oil pipeline from North Dakota state court to federal court.
Greenpeace had cited federal law dealing with court jurisdiction to try to get the state case moved to federal court, where the group had already prevailed against racketeering claims alleged by Texas-based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners.
ETP disputed Greenpeace’s argument that federal court had jurisdiction over its latest lawsuit. Greenpeace attorneys in a late Friday filing acknowledged the company was correct and agreed to leave the lawsuit in state court.
ETP maintains Greenpeace and others should be held responsible for trying to disrupt pipeline construction and damage the company’s reputation and finances. Greenpeace accuses ETP of using the legal system to bully critics.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Volunteers with the American Red Cross and local organizations in Bismarck and Mandan have installed free smoke alarms at nearly 200 homes.
The initiative is part of a two-week national effort to install 100,000 smoke alarms in 100 cities. KXMB-TV reports that volunteers installed 187 smoke alarms in Bismarck and Mandan on Saturday.
The television station reports home fires kill seven people every day in the U.S. and it’s often in houses without working smoke alarms.
The American Red Cross’ “Sound the Alarm, Save a Life” initiative has been in place since 2014.

MLB NEWS
Braves acquire veteran left-hander Blevins from Oakland
UNDATED (AP) — The Atlanta Braves have acquired left-hander Jerry Blevins from the Oakland Athletics for $1.
Blevins posted a 4.85 ERA in 64 games with the New York Mets last year and signed a minor league deal with Oakland before this season.
Blevins has a 3.52 ERA in 12 seasons with Oakland, Washington and the Mets.
In other MLB news:

— White Sox rookie Eloy Jiménez was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a high right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old was injured when he crashed into the left-field wall on Friday night trying to catch a home run by Detroit’s Grayson Greiner in the third inning.
— The Nationals have put first baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the 10-day injured list because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Zimmerman was hurt while trying to make a catch in Tuesday’s game in Colorado. Washington recalled right-hander Erick Fedde from Double-A Harrisburg.

In world and national news…
BALTIMORE (AP) — Authorities say seven people have been shot, at least one fatally, in Baltimore.
Police department spokeswoman Chakia Fennoy said authorities received a call shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday reporting that multiple people had been shot.
Fennoy said one of the victims has died but that she had no information about the conditions of the others.
The shooting happened on a street in the western part of the city.
Fennoy says she has no immediate information on what prompted the shooting or of any suspect or suspects.
According to local media reports, the shooting happened while people were gathered for a cookout.
POWAY, Calif. (AP) — Eight-year-old Noya Dahan had finished praying and gone to play with other children at her Southern California synagogue when gunshots rang out. Her uncle grabbed her and the other children, leading them outside to safety as her leg bled from a shrapnel wound.
Noya recalled how the group of children cried out of fear after a gunman entered Chabad of Poway on Saturday morning and started shooting.
The onslaught on the last day of Passover, a Jewish holiday celebrating freedom, wounded Dahan, her uncle and the congregation’s rabbi. The attack killed beloved congregant Lori Kaye, 60.
Authorities said the 19-year-old gunman opened fire as about 100 people were worshipping exactly six months after a mass shooting in a Pittsburgh synagogue.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Joe Biden is picking Pennsylvania for his first campaign speech of the presidential race. That signals his hopes of owning what may be the toughest battleground of next year’s election.
The former vice president’s speech to an organized labor crowd Monday afternoon in Pittsburgh comes days after he announced his candidacy and attended a fundraiser in Philadelphia.
For Biden, planting a flag in Pennsylvania makes sense: The longtime former senator from Delaware was born in Pennsylvania, has numerous ties to it and can use his deep inroads with influential state party figures to his advantage.
President Donald Trump’s campaign is already mapping out a strategy to win Pennsylvania for a second time, and the state forms the core of the president’s likeliest path to victory.
ALAMOSA, Colo. (AP) — Republicans are trying to convince people that Democrats want to turn the U.S. toward socialism.
They cite Democratic proposals aimed at providing universal health care and curbing greenhouse gas emissions to make their case. But it’s not an easy sell among moderate voters.
In Associated Press interviews with dozens of people in Colorado, it’s clear that some harbor concerns about socialism, yet few volunteer it as a top-flight concern. Some think Republicans are trying to stir unease by raising the specter of the old, repressive Soviet Union and today’s chaotic Venezuela.
The Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, has described his Republican Party as the “firewall that saves the country from socialism.”
LISBON, Portugal (AP) — The European Union executive says that it is confident that outgoing prime minister Pedro Sánchez “will be able to form a stable pro-European government that will allow Spain to continue to play an important role in the EU.”
Spokesman Margaritis Schinas added that the results also show that “a crushing majority of the Spanish population has chosen for clearly pro-European parties.”
He said that EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has called Sánchez to congratulate him on “his clear victory”
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Afghan president is hosting a grand council of some 2,500 prominent figures to agree on a shared approach to peace talks with the Taliban.
But the gathering — known as a Loya Jirga — instead looks to further aggravate divisions within the U.S.-backed government, even as America makes progress with the insurgents in direct talks aimed at ending the 18-year war
President Ashraf Ghani hopes to showcase unity at the gathering of politicians, tribal elders and others. But Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, his partner in a unity government brokered by the United States after a bitterly disputed election in 2014, heads a list of prominent no-shows.
U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilza has held several rounds of talks with the Taliban, who refuse to negotiate directly with the Kabul government.
GREECE, N.Y. (AP) — Charges that three young men and a 16-year-old plotted to attack a Muslim settlement in upstate New York are raising difficult questions about technology’s role in exposing young people to ideology. The arrests in January came two years after one 19-year-old suspect began using his social media accounts to call for a revolution, with Muslims as one of his targets.
The four are accused of plotting against Islamberg in Delaware County, New York.
Beyond this case, the spread of extremist ideology online has sparked growing concern. Google and Facebook executives went before the House Judiciary Committee this month to answer questions about their platforms’ role in feeding hate crime and white nationalism. And Twitter announced new rules last fall prohibiting the use of “dehumanizing language” that risks “normalizing serious violence.”
