FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The family of a North Dakota man who died a few days after he was arrested for drunken driving has filed a civil rights lawsuit against law enforcement and others.
KFGO radio reports that the 83-page complaint asserts that Warren Lindvold, of Valley City, was deprived of his civil rights and illegally arrested in July 2018. It says Lindvold had a form of arthritis that causes severe pain and he wouldn’t have died had he received appropriate care.
The medical examiner concluded that Lindvold’s death was an accident, probably due to a fall.
The suit says Lindvold’s blood-alcohol content was 0.03%, below the state’s drunken driving threshold of 0.08%, and he should not have been arrested.
Court documents do not list attorneys for the 12 defendants named in the suit.

Bismarck (NewsRelease) North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries biologists investigated winterkills
at several lakes this spring, and some were considered significant enough to affect
the quality of fishing. Biologists will continue to monitor suspect lakes and other
fisheries throughout the spring.
A total fish kill means all fish died, a significant kill is when the game fish
population is greatly reduced and a partial kill means dead fish were observed but
catchable numbers of game fish are still present.
Some lakes that were sampled that showed partial winterkill include Pipestem and
Jamestown reservoirs (Stutsman County), Green Lake (McIntosh County), Woodhouse Lake
(Kidder County), Patterson Lake (Stark County), Crooked Lake and Scooby Lake (McLean
County).
Minor winterkills were noted in some other lakes but werent significant enough to
affect fishing. Information of all waters actively managed by Game and Fish [
https://gfapps.nd.gov/reports/fisheries/webpagefishingwatersbyname.pdf ] is
available by visiting the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov. This page will be
updated as other lakes are surveyed.
Confirmed lakes with total or significant winterkill are listed by county. For more
information on individual lakes, or to report fish kills that may not be on the
list, anglers can contact the local Game and Fish district office.

Valley City (VCSU) When Governor Doug Burgum signed Senate Bill No. 2297 on May 2, he finalized the North Dakota Legislature’s funding of a new Communication and Fine Arts Building at Valley City State University.
The $32 million funding for the new building at VCSU came as part of a bonding bill for higher education capital projects. The VCSU Communication and Fine Arts Building will replace Foss Hall, which now stands behind a floodwall built to protect Valley City.
“I want to thank the legislature, the governor, the state board and the system office for their support of our fine arts building project,” said VCSU President Alan D. LaFave. “This project has been years in the making, and there’s great joy on campus and the community knowing that the building will become a reality.”
The floods of 2009 and 2011 brought home the need for permanent flood protection for Valley City and emphasized the perilous perch of Foss Hall on the banks of the Sheyenne River. Situated too close to the river to allow construction of the floodwall between the building and river, Foss now sits on the wrong side of the floodwall constructed in the first phase of Valley City’s permanent flood protection project.
The North Dakota University System (NDUS) has recognized the need to replace Foss Hall for several years, and VCSU’s plan to build a Communication and Fine Arts Building was the No. 1 system capital project priority heading into the 2015 North Dakota legislative session. The need to replace Foss Hall was also recognized in the 64th North Dakota Legislative Assembly in 2015, and in that session, the legislature approved contingency funding of $25.8 million for the new building, based on state revenues reaching an economic trigger.
WILLISTON, N.D. — Police closed down several blocks around the intersection of 16th Avenue West and 23rd Street West here Sunday, May 5, after a report of gunfire.
The Williston Herald reports, the police department received a report of a gunshot around 3:12 p.m. , according to Sgt Detective Danielle Hendricks. Officers responded and determined a man had fired a gun inside an apartment building.
Police searched an apartment for the suspect, but he wasn’t there, Hendricks said. No one was injured.
Hendricks said police are investigating and believe the shooting to be an isolated incident.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — An Interstate 94 bridge in Dickinson suffered minor damage when it was struck by a piece of farm equipment being hauled by a semitrailer.
The Highway Patrol says the oversize air seeder hit the bridge about 6:15 a.m. local time Sunday. The air seeder also was damaged.
Neither the semi driver nor a passenger was injured. The driver was cited for failing to have a permit for an oversize load.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says a scam involving homeless people has been detected in North Dakota’s largest county.
County officials say the scheme targets homeless people who possess valid identification. Suspects try to convince them to cash stolen counterfeit checks in exchange for a portion of the money.
The sheriff’s office says it took a report from a rural Cass County bank regarding the scam.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge has sent back to North Dakota state court a lawsuit alleging the environmental group Greenpeace conspired against the Dakota Access oil pipeline.
The two sides had agreed to the move, and U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland recently signed off on it.
Texas-based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners 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.
Greenpeace had cited federal law dealing with court jurisdiction to try to get the state lawsuit moved to federal court, where the group had already prevailed against racketeering claims alleged by ETP. But ETP disputed Greenpeace’s argument, and the group late last week acknowledged the company was correct.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An heir to the Walmart fortune, a wealthy governor and oil companies could fund a big chunk of the private money needed for a Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota’s western Badlands.
It’s unclear how much might come from the Roosevelt family.
North Dakota lawmakers recently approved $50 million in public money for the project, but it must be matched by $100 million in private money.
The library foundation says it has $52 million in pledges. It’s widely believed most of that is from former Walmart Chairman Rob Walton and his wife, Melani. She declined comment.
North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness expects “substantial” money from the energy industry.
A spokesman says Gov. Doug Burgum also will contribute. Burgum sold a company to Microsoft in 2001 for $1.1 billion.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Republican-led Legislature was successful in pushing its own bill aimed at ethics reform. But it wasn’t what Democrats and others wanted and worked to get voters to pass last year.
Whether the GOP version fulfills the goals of the initiative will be determined in large part by a commission to oversee the conduct of legislators, statewide officials, candidates and lobbyists.
Applications for the five-member commission are being taken until May 24. Applicants include former lawmakers, lawyers, a farmer and several lobbyists.
Gov. Doug Burgum and legislative leaders must select the panel by consensus.
Dina Butcher, a spokeswoman for the group that pushed a constitutional amendment to toughen ethics rules, says a threatened lawsuit is on hold until the group sees how the commission works.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Max Homa has earned his first PGA victory in 68 starts with a strong back nine to secure the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow.

Homa played only one Sunday in the entire PGA Tour season two years ago. The victory gets him into the PGA Championship in two weeks at Bethpage Black and the Masters next April.

Costly DQ: Maximum Security bettors lost about $9M
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Bettors who wagered on Maximum Security in the Kentucky Derby only to see the colt get disqualified for interference will receive refunds.
Twinspires.com, Churchill Downs’ online wagering service, tweeted that it will give back up to $10 to anyone who bet on Maximum Security to win in Saturday’s Derby.
The company said $6,212,046 was bet on the colt to win.

Owner Gary West says he is unsure whether to enter Maximum Security in the Preakness as he ponders appealing the historic decision.

In world and national news…
JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli army says it has lifted protective restrictions on residents in southern Israel, signaling a cease-fire agreement has been reached with Palestinian militants in Gaza to end the bloodiest fighting between the sides since a 2014 war.
In another sign of quiet, Hamas’ Al Aqsa radio station also is reporting a cease-fire deal, though there is still no official announcement from the Islamic militant group that rules the coastal strip.
In fighting since the weekend, Palestinian militants have bombarded Israel with hundreds of rockets, while Israel carried out several hundred airstrikes on militant targets in Gaza.
Palestinian medical officials have reported 23 deaths, including at least nine militants as well as two pregnant women and two babies. Four Israelis also were killed from incoming fire.
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s transportation minister says 41 bodies have been recovered from the burned wreckage of an Aeroflot plane at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport.
Minister Yevgeny Dietrich also told reporters in a Monday briefing that six people who survived the disaster Sunday night have been hospitalized.
The plane, a Sukhoi SSJ100, caught fire while making an emergency landing at the airport, after turning back on a flight to Murmansk for unspecified reasons.
Russia’s Investigative Committee says the flight recorders from the plane have been recovered and that investigators are looking into inexperienced pilots, equipment failure and bad weather as possible causes for the disaster.
BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese spokesman says a team from Beijing is “preparing to travel to the United States” for trade talks, suggesting negotiations might go ahead despite President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threat.
The spokesman, Geng Shuang, said Monday that Beijing is “trying to get more information” following Trump’s surprise announcement he might impose 25 percent tariffs on more Chinese imports.
Asked whether the top Chinese envoy, Vice Premier Liu He, would go to Washington as planned, Geng said only that a “Chinese team” was preparing to travel.
Geng said, “A Chinese team is preparing to travel to the United States for trade talks.”
Beijing and Washington have raised tariffs on billions of dollars of each others goods in their dispute over U.S. complaints about Chinese technology ambitions.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. defense official says the deployments of an aircraft carrier strike group and land-based bombers to the Middle East are in response to indications that Iran and its proxy forces were preparing to possibly attack U.S. forces in the region.
The defense official tells The Associated Press that the Pentagon approved the deployments of the USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group of ships and combat aircraft.
The official says U.S. forces at sea and on land were thought to be the potential targets. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly and requested anonymity.
A White House statement says the military resources were deployed to send a message to Iran that “unrelenting force” will meet any attack on U.S. interests or those of its allies.
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump ex-lawyer and fixer is due to start a three-year prison sentence Monday for crimes including campaign finance violations related to hush-money payments made on Trump’s behalf.
Michael Cohen is expected to report to the Federal Correctional Institution, Otisville, a federal prison tucked in the lush countryside 70 miles (113 kilometers) northwest of New York City. A minimum-security prison camp there has become a haven for white-collar criminals including including “Jersey Shore” star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Fyre Festival fraudster Billy McFarland.
Cohen, who’s been disbarred, is trading plaid blazers for khaki prison garb after trying and failing in recent weeks to get his sentence delayed or reduced.
His legal team asked House Democrats last month to intercede after Cohen testified on Capitol Hill, but they were reticent to do so. Cohen’s lawyers said federal prosecutors in New York were also no help.
TOKYO (AP) — North Korea appears to have tested a new short-range missile — and President Donald Trump’s resolve to keep it from doing more of the same.
The test early Saturday was quickly played down by Trump and his top advisers, who noted it was not the kind of long-range missile leader Kim Jong Un has refrained from launching since 2017.
But the sudden activity on the North’s east coast, complete with fiery photos of a purported bull’s eye out to sea, alarmed Washington’s regional allies and suggests that Kim’s missiles are improving even as the Trump administration wrestles with how to get him back to the negotiating table.
NEW YORK (AP) — Boeing says it didn’t tell pilots and airlines that a safety alert on its 737 Max jets was not working until after one of the planes crashed in Indonesia last year.
The safety alert, called an “angle of attack” (AOA) indicator, tells pilots if a sensor is transmitting bad data. It was designed to warn pilots about the kind of sensor malfunction that occurred in the crash in Indonesia and another five months later in Ethiopia. It had been operational in previous versions of the 737, but was switched off in the 737 Max.
Boeing said Sunday that the planes could be flown safely without the alert, but said it will be included in the 737 Max before the planes are flown again.
