Bismarck (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, that on Wednesday, June 19, 2019, at approximately 10:30 p.m., troopers responded to the call of a male individual, later identified as LeBray Heart, walking on the Expressway bridge in the Mandan area. Heart was found walking on the west bound side of Expressway bridge near the McKenzie Drive overpass. When a trooper attempted to stop and talk with Heart, he fled from the officer. As troopers followed him on foot, they saw he was holding an object up against his neck. It was later discovered the object Heart possessed was a knife.
While fleeing from troopers, Heart ran onto the roadway into oncoming traffic on the McKenzie Drive overpass of Expressway. He stopped for a short period before fleeing again, exiting the overpass area. Heart ran in front of oncoming traffic again on Expressway and was nearly struck by a vehicle.
Mandan Police Department arrived on scene to assist NDHP Troopers. Heart eventually stood still to talk with the officers. He was noncompliant and refused to drop the knife from his hand. Due to Heart’s noncompliance, possession of a knife, and his decision to run into oncoming traffic; a conducted electrical weapon (taser) was deployed to safely gain control of him. The deployment of the taser worked and officers were able to handcuff Heart and take him into custody. He was transported to the Sanford Medical Center by ambulance for observation. Heart was issued a citation for disorderly conduct.
The Bismarck Police Department closed the westbound lanes of Expressway at South Washington Street while the incident was on-going. The roadway was closed for about 45 minutes.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol would like to thank the Mandan Police Department and the Bismarck Police Department for their assistance in helping to safely resolve this situation.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s female prison population has reached capacity, leaving some inmates in the custody of counties.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the state’s female prison population reached capacity for the first time in May.
Under 2017 legislation, county inmates are transferred to state prisons based on the severity of crimes, medical needs and other factors. Last week, only six of 12 inmates intended for movement from county to state were admitted.
The statewide system for women has a daily average capacity of 224 inmates.
Donnell Preskey, who represents the North Dakota Association of Counties, says a mechanism must be established to reimburse counties for the cost of holding inmates who should be in state facilities.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The operator of the Dakota Access pipeline is planning to nearly double its capacity.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Energy Transfer Partners plans to expand the pipeline’s capacity from more than 500,000 barrels per day to as much as 1.1 million barrels.
ETP told North Dakota Public Service Commission in a letter Wednesday that the expansion will let the Texas-based company meet growing demand without additional pipelines or rail shipments.
The Dakota Access pipeline carries oil from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois. The company said last year that it was planning to ship more crude to the Gulf Coast.
The pipeline sparked massive protests near the Standing Rock Indian reservation before it was completed and began moving oil in 2017.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s tax commissioner has a reminder about an important deadline.
Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger says July 1 is the last day to apply for a refund of state taxes paid on fuel in 2018. The refund is available for fuel purchased to run farm, ranch and industrial equipment used off road.
KXMB-TV reports farmers and ranchers can receive a refund of 23 cents per gallon and industrial consumers can get 22.5 cents per gallon. Fuel purchased for use by an emergency medical services operation also qualifies for a refund of 23 cents a gallon.

In world and national news…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.N. says Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is urging all parties to “exercise maximum restraint” and avoid any further escalation following Iran’s shooting down of an American drone.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Thursday that Guterres is “very concerned” and is calling on the parties to “avoid any action that could inflame the situation.”
Dujarric said the secretary-general stresses again “that the world cannot afford a major conflict in that area.”
Iran said the unmanned U.S. Navy drone “violated” its territorial airspace, while the U.S. called its downing an “unprovoked attack” in international airspace over the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.
Asked whether there should be an investigation and who should carry it out, Dujarric said: “Obviously the facts need to be established. … Various parties are looking into the issue right now.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is inviting House and Senate leaders for a briefing with President Donald Trump on Thursday afternoon to discuss tensions with Iran.
That’s according to two people familiar with the invitation who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it.
In addition to House and Senate leaders of both parties, the White House extended the invitation to the top Democrats and Republicans on the House and Senate intelligence and Armed Services committees.
The briefing comes after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shot down a U.S. surveillance drone. Trump said it might have been a mistake executed by someone just being “loose and stupid” and was coy about whether the U.S. would respond. He told reporters, “you’ll find out.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is threatening to veto resolutions in Congress aimed at blocking arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
A White House statement says the bills “would send a message that the United States is abandoning its partners and allies at the very moment when threats to them are increasing.”
The Saudis have recently faced a string of attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen who are backed by Iran.
The resolutions to stop the arms sales are coming up for a vote Thursday in the Senate. While the resolutions are expected to pass, the bills are unlikely to secure enough votes to overcome Trump’s threatened veto.
The $8 billion arms sale, announced by the administration in May, included precision guided munitions, other bombs and ammunition and aircraft maintenance support.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A Sacramento officer killed during a domestic violence call had been on the police force for just six months.
The Sacramento Police Department said in a statement Thursday that 26-year-old Officer Tara O’Sullivan graduated from the police academy in December.
Before that, she worked as a community service officer and studied at Sacramento State University, where she graduated with a degree in child development about a year ago.
Deputy Chief Dave Peletta says the department is devastated over the loss of “our young, brave officer.”
A suspect in the shooting Wednesday surrendered after an eight-hour standoff. His name has not been released.
The department said detectives are gathering evidence at the home in a Sacramento neighborhood.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court says a World War I memorial in the shape of a 40-foot-tall cross can continue to stand on public land in Maryland.
The court has rejected a challenge to the nearly 100-year-old memorial. The justices have ruled that its presence on public land doesn’t violate the First Amendment’s establishment clause. That clause prohibits the government from favoring one religion over others.
The cross’ challengers included the District of Columbia-based American Humanist Association, a group that includes atheists and agnostics. They argued that the cross should be moved to private property or modified into a nonreligious monument such as a slab or obelisk.
Maryland officials who took over maintenance of the cross decades ago argued that the cross has a secular purpose and meaning.
