MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Police say an officer was injured in a struggle with a suspect during a traffic stop in Minot.
Authorities say a 28-year-old passenger wanted on an outstanding warrant was asked to step out of the vehicle Thursday and fought with the officer, injuring the officer before he was hit with a stun gun.
The driver of the vehicle drove off with the man inside. He eventually fled into an apartment building, forced his way into an occupied apartment and hid. KFGO reports police set up a perimeter and the suspect surrendered.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota plans to acquire the Ruth Meiers Hospitality House’s property in Bismarck and turn the facility into affordable housing.
Lutheran Social Services is partnering with CommunityWorks North Dakota on the acquisition. The plan is to take over the facility by the end of summer and turn it into affordable housing.
Lutheran Social Services CEO Jessica Thomasson tells The Bismarck Tribune the sale of the site is “in the works.” Choice Bank took ownership of the facility last month.
Thomasson says Lutheran Social Services got involved to try to preserve 85 units of affordable housing in Bismarck.
The status of Ruth Meiers Hospitality House is unclear. Thomasson says the nonprofit no longer offers services at the East Boulevard Avenue location and doesn’t have staff.

CHICAGO (AP) — Spokeswomen for the family of a slain Chicago woman whose baby was cut from her womb with a butcher knife says the infant boy has died.
Family spokeswoman Cecilia Garcia confirmed a family statement posted on Facebook that 19-year-old Marlen Ochoa-Lopez’s baby died Friday at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
The baby had been in grave condition since the April 23 attack on his mother. Family spokeswoman Julie Contreras says in a statement that Yovanny Jadiel Lopez died from a severe brain injury.
Ochoa-Lopez’s body was found in a garbage can last month behind the Chicago home of a woman now charged in Ochoa-Lopez’s killing.
Prosecutors say 46-year-old Clarisa Figueroa claimed she had given birth to the baby when she took him to a hospital. She and her 24-year-old daughter are charged with first-degree murder.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has condemned the suspected attack on a Japanese-operated tanker near the Strait of Hormuz this week as a threat to safe maritime navigation.
Abe, speaking to reporters Friday, says: “Japan adamantly condemns the act that threatened a Japanese ship, no matter who attacked.”
The tanker, Kokuka Courageous, was attacked by what its crewmembers described as “flying objects” near the Strait of Hormuz, carrying methanol to Singapore and Thailand. All 21 Filipino sailors were safely evacuated.
Abe urged “all related countries” to avoid an accidental confrontation and refrain from any action that may escalate tensions. He pledged to help de-escalate tensions in the region.
Abe made the remarks after telephone calls with U.S. President Donald Trump, briefing him on his Iran visit this week, without elaborating. He pledged to keep cooperating with Trump.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Trump administration national security official is turning to advisers from a climate change-rejecting think tank for help crafting his challenges to mainstream science on global warming.
The Environmental Defense Fund obtained the emails of National Security Council adviser William Happer under the Freedom of Information Act. The group provided them to The Associated Press.
Email exchanges this February and March show Happer consulting with two advisers to the Heartland Institute on a paper attempting to knock down climate change. The Heartland Institute is a prominent opponent of mainstream scientific findings that fossil fuel emissions are damaging the Earth’s atmosphere.
Academic experts criticize the official’s continued work with groups and scientists who reject what numerous federal agencies say is the fact of climate change. The National Security Council declined comment.
PHOENIX (AP) — Advocates were shocked to find a teenage mom and her premature newborn daughter huddled in a Border Patrol facility in what they say was another example of the poor treatment immigrants receive.
The mother is a Guatemalan teen who crossed the border without a parent and was held at a facility in McAllen, Texas.
Hope Frye, a volunteer who visits detention centers to ensure they comply with federal guidelines, said the baby was born in Mexico in early May has a head the size of her fist. She says the baby should have immediately received medical care.
Frye said the mom was in a wheelchair and in extreme pain.
Advocates say they are being sent to a facility for underage immigrants on Friday.
Customs and Border Protection has not commented.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Navy has named the first female leader of the U.S. Naval War College after removing the college president who is under investigation.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer announced Friday that Rear Adm. Shoshana Chatfield will be the new president.
Rear Adm. Jeffrey Harley was removed as the college president Monday, days after The Associated Press reported he was under investigation and more than a year after the initial complaint was filed.
The AP reported Harley was under investigation for allegedly spending excessively, abusing his hiring authority and otherwise behaving inappropriately, including keeping a margarita machine in his office.
Spencer was at the college in Newport, Rhode Island, on Friday for graduation.
Chatfield currently leads a military command in Guam, Joint Region Marianas.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is now saying he may contact the FBI if a foreign power presented him with negative information about a political opponent.
Trump, in an interview Friday with “Fox & Friends,” appeared to walk back his comments from earlier in the week.
The president still said he would “of course” look at the information in order to determine whether or not it was “incorrect.”
But he added that if he “thought anything was incorrect or badly stated” he would “absolutely” notify law enforcement.
Those comments are different than what he told ABC this week, when he said he would consider accepting information from an outside nation and would not contact law enforcement. That outraged Democrats who said it evoked Russia’s 2016 election interference.
WASHINGTON (AP) — NBC has announced how it will divvy up the 20 Democratic candidates for the first debate of the 2020 election campaign, which will be held over two nights in Miami later this month.
The lineup for the first two-hour session on June 26 features Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Beto (BET’-oh) O’Rourke, Amy Klobuchar (KLOH’-buh-shar), Julián Castro, Bill de Blasio (dih BLAH’-zee-oh), John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Tim Ryan and Jay Inslee.
The lineup for the next night features Bernie Sanders, Kamala (KAH’-mah-lah) Harris, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg (BOO’-tuh-juhj), Michael Bennet, Marianne Williamson, Eric Swalwell, Kirsten Gillibrand (KEER’-sten JIHL’-uh-brand), Andrew Yang and John Hickenlooper.
The Democratic National Committee says it divided the candidates at random but ensured that contenders considered front-runners would not be stacked on one night to avoid the impression that one night was more important than the other.
