Update…
Jamestown (Valley News Live) – A high-risk sex offender who left the grounds of North Dakota State Hospital in Jamestown Tuesday—after being admitted involuntarily—was found and arrested on Wednesday.
KVLY reports, North Dakota Highway Patrol Captain Bryan Niewind says 30 year old Jerry Roy Stewart was spotted walking along Highway 281, and later picked up some 13 miles south of Jamestown.
Court records show Stewart, of St. John has a long list of offenses, in multiple counties.
Niewind says “Stewart is a registered violent sex offender, and he’s also underneath the custody of North Dakota Parole and Probation right now.”
In August 2018 Stewart was charged with failure to comply with child offender registration.
Niewind says “We’re determining whether or not he has failed to comply with his registration again, and if he has, we’ll make sure that he’s charged for that again.”
Niewind says he could also face charges for leaving the state hospital., being involuntarily committed to the state hospital by a judge, and that he walked away, he’s failing to comply with that mandate and he could be held in contempt of court.”
State Hospital Superintendent Rosalie Etherington says, “We treat approximately 13-1500 individuals per year, adding that it is not necessarily an uncommon thing for individuals to make decisions about their own care or even to elope from a hospital or walk away from a hospital.”
Etherington wouldn’t comment on Stewart’s case, citing privacy laws. But says many patients come into the hospital straight from the public.
Niewind tells KVLY that Stewart was at the State Hospital for chemical dependency treatment.
Stewart’s probation officer says, Stewart basically failed to comply with his probation conditions and he’s not in compliance with his probation conditions. But at this point in time, the North Dakota Parole and Probation is not pursuing any charges.

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — About 8,400 gallons of produced water has spilled in Stark County because of a pipeline leak.
North Dakota’s Department of Environmental Quality says the pipeline operator, Scout Energy Management, reported the spill earlier this week when it occurred west of Dickinson and contained it.
Produced water is a mixture of saltwater and oil that can contain drilling chemicals. It’s a byproduct of oil and gas development.
State officials have inspected the site and are continuing to monitor it.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Court officials and lawyers in North Dakota say few people have tried to undo convictions for refusing DUI blood tests in the year since a state Supreme Court opinion offered a narrow pathway for doing so.
The state Supreme Court ruled that a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court decision that found it unconstitutional to criminalize refusal of a warrantless blood draw applies retroactively. The 2016 decision was based on cases in North Dakota and Minnesota.
The North Dakota Supreme Court said in its ruling that any post-conviction relief applies “in very limited circumstances.” Even so, Bismarck attorney Dan Herbel, who argued in both the 2016 and 2018 cases, tells the Bismarck Tribune he’s not sure if people know they can petition to have the DUI blood test cases thrown out.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — America is aging.
Data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday shows the median age in the U.S. increased by a year to 38.2 years from 2010 to 2018.
If there’s someone to blame, it’s the baby boomers. Many in that group of Americans born between the end of World War Two and the Beatles’ American invasion in 1964 have been hitting the retirement mark in the past eight years.
The only state whose median age got younger was North Dakota, which has undergone a population boom driven by growth in the energy sector. The median age went from 37 years in 2010 to 35.2 years in 2018.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s foreign ministry has warned the United States over violating Iranian airspace after the Revolutionary Guard shot down a U.S drone earlier in the day.
A ministry spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, is quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency as saying that Iran cannot condone the “illegal trespassing and invading of the country’s skies by any kind of foreign flying object.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it shot down the American drone over Iranian airspace, while U.S. officials say it happened over international airspace in the Strait of Hormuz.
Mousavi expressed Iran’s “strong objection” and added that the “invaders will bear full responsibility.”
(AP) Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is dismissing calls to apologize for saying that the Senate “got things done” with “civility” even when the body included segregationists with whom he disagreed.
His rivals for the 2020 nomination, including the two major black candidates in the race, have criticized Biden’s comments.
But Biden isn’t backing down and he’s particularly defiant in the face of criticism from New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who says the former vice president should apologize.
Biden says Booker should apologize because the senator “should know better” than to question Biden’s commitment to civil rights.
Booker’s response: “I was raised to speak truth to power and that I shall never apologize for doing that. And Vice President Biden shouldn’t need this lesson.”
BEIJING (AP) — The leaders of China and North Korea are holding talks in the North Korean capital.
China’s official Xinhua News Agency said President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sat down for talks Thursday in Pyongyang. It provided no further details.
Xi arrived earlier Thursday for a two-day state visit. He and Kim are expected to discuss the stalled U.S.-North Korean talks on the latter’s nuclear weapons program.
Xi is the first Chinese leader to visit North Korea in 14 years.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A new poll shows Americans prefer a space program that focuses on potential asteroid impacts, scientific research and using robots to explore the cosmos over sending humans back to the moon or on to Mars.
The poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research was released Thursday, one month before the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
The results show asteroid and comet monitoring as the No. 1 desired objective for the U.S. space program. About two-thirds of Americans call that very or extremely important.
The poll comes as the White House pushes to get astronauts back on the moon, but only about a quarter of Americans said moon or Mars exploration by astronauts should be among the space program’s highest priorities.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas officials are raising concerns over Rapid DNA analysis that has been used to identify California wildfire victims and verify family connections on the U.S.-Mexico border.
A state board asked a growing government provider of Rapid DNA equipment to halt any projects in the state amid worries that criminal cases were potentially jeopardized. That’s according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press.
Texas officials say ANDE failed to partner with prosecutors while evidence was run on its machines, putting the integrity of some Houston cases at risk.
The company, Colorado-based ANDE, has been involved in several high-profile Rapid DNA projects nationwide in recent months. An ANDE spokeswoman says no issues have been raised about the company’s equipment and that how evidence is handled is up to law enforcement.
