MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Mandan police say a woman has been struck and killed in the parking lot of an apartment building.
Authorities say a 74-year-old driver was backing up his vehicle when he struck and ran over a 79-year-old Mandan woman who walking across the lot about 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
She was taken to the hospital and later died of her injuries.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol is assisting with the investigation.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A new sentencing hearing has been set for a man convicted of helping to cover up the death of a North Dakota woman whose baby was cut from her womb.
The North Dakota Supreme Court ruled last month that William Hoehn should not have been sentenced to life in prison because a judge mistakenly classified him as a dangerous special offender based on his criminal record.
Hoehn, of Fargo, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit kidnapping in the August 2017 attack on Savanna Greywind, whose baby survived. Hoehn’s girlfriend, Brooke Crews, admitted she sliced Greywind’s baby from her womb and was sentenced to life without parole.
Defense attorney Scott Brand tells The Associated Press he has yet to receive evidence in the case. The hearing is Oct. 7.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Fargo woman is accused of trespassing at a local school and assaulting a police officer who tried to get her to leave.
The 42-year-old woman was arrested Thursday outside Shanley High School and Sullivan Middle School in Fargo. Police say officers were called to the school on a report of a woman who was looking for her children. She was told to leave, but returned to the school and began fighting with officers, striking one of them.
The school restricted students’ movement during the incident.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Authorities in North Dakota relied on DNA collected from a cigarette butt to charge a man with engaging in a riot for his part in a Dakota Access pipeline protest three years ago that caused damage estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to an affidavit.
Morton County prosecutors also charged Lawrence Malcolm Jr., 23, of Sisseton, South Dakota, with felony conspiracy to commit criminal mischief. An arrest warrant for Malcolm was issued Thursday, the Bismarck Tribune reported.
The charges against Malcolm relate to a Sept. 6, 2016, protest. More than 100 demonstrators, many with their faces covered, shut down construction and vandalized equipment on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Two protesters locked themselves to heavy equipment causing damage estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to an affidavit.
The protesters, who called themselves water protectors, said the pipeline was an invasion of sacred tribal lands that threatened to contaminate the water supply and destroy cultural resources. Some said the fight was about religious freedom, tribal sovereignty and human rights.
North Dakota crime lab officials notified investigators last month that the DNA profile from one of two cigarette butts collected at the scene was a match for Malcolm, whose DNA was on file from an earlier arrest for outstanding warrants related to Dakota Access protest violations.
Agents reviewed video and photos from the protest but couldn’t find Malcolm, which indicates he was one of the protesters with his face covered, the affidavit says.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — New hurricane warnings and watches have been issued for eastern Canada as Hurricane Dorian crawls up the East Coast.
Tropical Storm warnings have also been issued for parts of Maine, Massachusetts and Delaware.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says hurricane conditions are expected in eastern Nova Scotia on Saturday.
The storm is moving away from North Carolina’s coast after making landfall Friday morning on the Outer Banks. Dorian’s center is about 125 miles (200 kilometers) northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and is moving northeast near 21 mph (34 kph). The hurricane center says Dorian is expected to increase its forward speed through Saturday night.
Earlier this week, the storm slammed the Bahamas, killing at least 30 people and obliterating countless homes.
LONDON (AP) — Britain’s House of Lords has approved a bill designed to prevent the country leaving the European Union next month without a divorce agreement.
Parliament’s unelected upper chamber voted Friday for the bill, which has already been passed by the elected House of Commons.
It will become law within days once it gets the formality of royal assent.
The law, backed by opposition lawmakers and Conservative rebels, compels Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ask the EU to postpone Brexit if no divorce agreement is in place by Oct. 19.
Johnson says the U.K. must leave the bloc on the currently scheduled date of Oct. 31, even if there is no deal.
HONG KONG (AP) — Students in Hong Kong are forming human chains outside their schools to raise awareness for the remaining four demands of protesters involved in months of demonstrations in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
The continuing act of defiance Friday came two days after Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam announced that her government will be formally withdrawing an extradition bill that sparked the demonstrations.
The proposed legislation would have allowed Hong Kong residents to be sent to mainland China to stand trial.
Some protesters say that they will continue their resistance because Lam’s announcement fulfills only one of five demands, which include electoral reforms and an independent inquiry into alleged police brutality.
Hong Kong is a former British colony that was returned to China in 1997.
MATAMOROS, Mexico (AP) — U.S. border agents took a Salvadoran woman who was eight months pregnant to the hospital when she suffered premature contractions, then forced her to leave the country under the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, the woman and her lawyer said.
Attorney Jodi Goodwin said the woman was waiting Wednesday with her 3-year-old daughter in a makeshift tent camp in Matamoros, Mexico, next to an international bridge connecting Matamoros to Brownsville, Texas.
There, she joined the more than 38,000 people forced to wait across the border for immigration court hearings under a rapidly expanding Trump administration policy. Her plight highlights the health risks and perils presented by the “Remain in Mexico” program.
MINT HILL, N.C. (AP) — There’s a tossup special election for a House seat from North Carolina next Tuesday. And it’s shaping up as a test of President Donald Trump’s pull on voters and whether the suburbs are continuing the flight from Republicans that fueled the party’s 2018 congressional election debacle.
The House district flows eastward from the prosperous Charlotte suburbs into rural areas hugging the South Carolina border. It’s up for grabs after state officials invalidated last November’s election following voter fraud allegations.
Trump won the district easily in 2016 and is holding an election-eve rally Monday for Republican candidate Dan Bishop. He faces Democrat Dan McCready, who narrowly lost last fall’s nullified race.
McCready is a former Marine and Harvard MBA who’s taken centrist positions. Bishop is a conservative and Trump loyalist.
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials are again urging people to stop vaping until they figure out why some are coming down with serious breathing illnesses.
Officials on Friday said they had identified 450 possible illnesses, including at least three deaths, in 33 states. The count includes a newly reported death in Indiana.
Health officials say no single vaping device, liquid or ingredient has been tied to all the illnesses. Many of the sickened — but not all — were people who had been vaping THC, the chemical that gives marijuana its high.
A week ago, U.S. officials pegged the number at 215 possible cases in 25 states. Health officials have only been counting certain lung illnesses in which the person had vaped within three months. Most are teens.
