Jamestown  (JPD) On June 21, 2020, at approximately 1:59-p.m.,   the Jamestown Police Department was dispatched to the alley in the 200 block of 1 Ave S, on a report of 2 individuals who were spray painting the sidewall of a business in that location.

Major Justin Blinsky’s report says, the caller witnessed the criminal act and provided a description of the suspects and what clothing they were wearing. The suspects were also reported as carrying a baseball bat and pushing a shopping cart full of bricks, running away from that location.

Jamestown Police Officers located both suspects minutes later. Upon further investigation, a second location approximately 2 blocks north of the first reported location, was identified as having been spray painted. Evidence linking the female suspect to the first reported criminal mischief was found in her possession.

The female suspect was identified as 20-year-old Kelsie Michelle Robinson of Kensal, ND. Based on the probable cause that was immediately established, Robinson was summonsed into Municipal Court on suspicion of the charge of Criminal Mischief. The male suspect was identified, questioned, and released from the scene.

This incident remains under investigation. Anyone who has information or video surveillance related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Jamestown Police Department at 701-252-1000.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Mandan man is facing reckless endangerment charges after he was accused of rolling large boulders off a cliff at a state historical site north of Bismarck. Authorities say no one was hurt when one of the boulders estimated at 700 pounds landed on a walking path at Double Ditch Indian Village Wednesday evening. Thirty-five-year-old Charles Gipp is also accused of starting a small fire at the site. He’s charged with felony reckless endangerment and two misdemeanors, according to the Bismarck Tribune. Burleigh County sheriff’s officials say Gipp told investigators he rolled the boulders for spiritual reasons. Court documents do not list an attorney for Gipp.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Organizers of a peaceful march in the Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota area to celebrate Juneteenth and address racial injustice said threats by city leaders and a federal prosecutor contributed the low turnout _ and promised a robust crowd for another march planned on Saturday. Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney on Thursday declared an emergency declaration to protect the city from potential violence, the same day U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley told reporters that the feds may charge people accused in a May 30 protest that turned violent in downtown Fargo. Wess Philome, organizer of a community diversity group known as OneFargo and the leader of Friday’s event, told several hundred marchers that Mahoney and Wrigley tried to sabotage their gathering.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — State regulators have approved a new program to plug North Dakota’s abandoned oil wells. Work is set to begin July 16 under the program approved by the Industrial Commission on Friday. The Bismarck Tribune reports the state plans to use $66 million in federal coronavirus aid to plug and clean up at least 239 abandoned wells and other oilfield sites. Regulators expect to return 2,200 acres to agricultural use, mainly in the older northern oilfields of Bottineau, Renville and Ward counties but also in western North Dakota. The three-member Industrial Commission is chaired by Gov. Doug Burgum. The commission approved orders Friday to plug the sites, which are operated by 50 oilfield companies. The state will start accepting bids for the work on Monday.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Wildlife officials say record-setting wet conditions that hampered hunters in North Dakota last fall might have set the stage for prime duck hunting this fall. The Bismarck Tribune reports that an annual spring survey by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department estimates 3.98 million breeding ducks in the state. The survey gives hunters their first glimpse of how duck numbers might shape up for the fall hunt. The 4 million bird mark hasn’t been reached for six years. Widespread drought in 2016 led to spring breeding duck numbers dropping below 3 million in 2017 and 2018 for only the second and third times in nearly a quarter century.

Aberdeen S.D. — Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert appears to have been caught up in an early morning bar brawl in Aberdeen, South Dakota, on Saturday, June 20.

Police were called to The Zoo Bar in Aberdeen just after 1 a.m. on a report of “people busting glasses and have busted heads,” according to archived local police scanner traffic reviewed by Forum News Service.

Police radioed in shortly after from the scene to run Goedert’s ID, and those of two other men. The 6 foot-5 inch, 265-pound Goedert is from Britton, about a 60-mile drive from Aberdeen.

An ambulance was called for what was identified as a 24-year-old male who was unconscious but breathing, and the vehicle was soon headed to Avera St. Luke’s Hospital in Aberdeen. It’s unclear if the man was Goedert, who turned 25 in January. An Avera Health representative said no patient by Goedert’s name was at the Aberdeen hospital or its sister facility in Sioux Falls.

Aberdeen police later were checking local hotels for “a group that flew in from Florida,” with a rental car with plates from Sioux Falls, according to police scanner traffic.

UNDATED (AP) — This was a different version of The ESPYS. No red carpet, no nattily dressed athletes, no house band or monologue poking fun at the past year’s top athletes and moments. The focus was on honors, the pandemic and racial justice. Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers received the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage for sparking a national conversation about mental health. Nelson Cruz of the Minnesota Twins was honored as the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian of the Year for helping his hometown in the Dominican Republic acquire public service needs. The show was hosted remotely by NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, soccer star Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird of the WNBA.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Webb Simpson celebrated another victory on Father’s Day, this time with a tartan jacket instead of a U.S. Open trophy.

In a wild sprint to the finish after a three-hour storm delay, Simpson ran off five birdies in a six-hole stretch on the back nine at Harbour Town and closed with a 7-under 64 for a one-shot victory over Abraham Ancer.

Simpson won the U.S. Open at Olympic Club in 2012. The U.S. Open has been scheduled to end on Father’s Day every year since 1976, but it was moved to September this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The RBC Heritage filled the spot on the schedule and Simpson, now a father of five, became a winner for the second time this year with a record score at Harbour Town.

He didn’t have much of a choice with so many low scores on a soft course with little wind. He finished at 22-under 262, breaking by two the tournament record set by Brian Gay in 2009.

NASCAR-TALLADEGA

Weather delays NASCAR race at Talladega

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Thunderstorms Sunday forced NASCAR to postpone the Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway that was to mark the return of more fans to the track. The race, which was pushed back to 2 p.m. CDT today, is the first amid the coronavirus pandemic in which NASCAR opened the gates for up to 5,000 fans.

The event was stopped several times for more than three hours of total delays.

The race is the ninth for the elite Cup Series since the May 17 resumption, and restrictions are gradually being lifted.

It was hardly an ordinary race day at Talladega Superspeedway, even before the lousy weather. The normal hordes of partying fans were nowhere to be seen.

NASCAR-TALLADEGA-BUBBA WALLACE

Noose found in garage stall of Bubba Wallace

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — NASCAR says it’s investigating the discovery of a noose in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace on Sunday at the NASCAR race in Talladega, Alabama.

Wallace is the only full-time Black driver in NASCAR’s elite Cup Series. Two weeks ago, he successfully pushed for NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag at its tracks and properties.

F1-HAMILTON-DIVERSITY

F1 star Hamilton to set up commission to increase diversity

LONDON (AP) — Six-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton plans to set up a commission to increase diversity in motorsport.

The Mercedes driver says the aim of the Hamilton Commission will be to make the sport “become as diverse as the complex and multicultural world we live in.”

Hamilton is the only Black world champion in F1. He has spoken widely about racism since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month.

Writing in British newspaper The Sunday Times, Hamilton said it would be a research partnership dedicated to exploring how motorsport can be used as a vehicle to “engage more young people from Black backgrounds with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and, ultimately, employ them on our teams or in other engineering sectors.”

VIRUS OUTBREAK-MLB

Balk in baseball coronavirus talks as negotiations drag on

NEW YORK (AP) — An email from Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred to union head Tony Clark led to a balk in the drawn-out talks to start the pandemic-delayed season, which now won’t begin by July 19.

The executive committee of the players’ association was set to vote and reject MLB’s latest offer for a 60-game season on Sunday.

Manfred says in an email obtained by The Associated Press that he really believes they are fighting over an impossibility on games. Manfred says the earliest they’ll be ready for players to report is a week from Monday, given the need to relocate teams from Florida. That leaves 66 days to play 60 games. Manfred says, “Realistically, that is the outside of the envelope now.”

UNDATED (AP) — Borna Coric has become the second tennis player to test positive for the coronavirus after participating in an exhibition event in Croatia.

Coric was among about 1,000 people who were tested for the virus after Grigor Dimitrov (GREE’-gohr DIH’-mih-trahv) announced that he was positive. That led to the cancellation of an exhibition event in Croatia where top-ranked Novak Djokovic (NOH’-vak JOH’-kuh-vich) was scheduled to play in the final.

The 33rd-ranked Coric played a match against Dimitrov in the Adriatic resort of Zadar on Saturday in the second leg of the exhibition series.

In other sports affected by the coronavirus pandemic:

— Serbian soccer club Red Star Belgrade says five players have tested positive for the coronavirus. The club says the players are feeling fine and remain in isolation. Four of the players have displayed symptoms of COVID-19 while one has shown no symptoms at all.

— There’s been a setback in the Russian soccer league’s restart this weekend. Dynamo Moscow postponed its game Sunday after three of its players tested positive for the coronavirus. It’s the second game to be disrupted by the coronavirus since the Russian league restarted Friday after a three-month pause.

— Newcastle beat 10-man Sheffield United 3-0 in the Premier League to virtually guarantee its top-flight status for another year and make the club an even more attractive option for its controversial potential buyers. The win at an empty St. James’ Park lifted Newcastle to 38 points and 11 clear of the relegation zone. The future of Newcastle has been one of the big talking points during soccer’s three-month shutdown. League officials are deciding whether to approve a takeover of the northeast club by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign fund. Elsewhere in the Premier League, Chelsea rallied to beat Aston Villa 2-1. Chelsea strengthened its hold on fourth place and is five points clear of fifth-place Manchester United.

— Two-time major champion So Yeon Ryu (soh yahn yoo) closed with an even-par 72 to win the Korea Women’s Open in her first tournament in four months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ryu won for the first time since the Japan Women’s Open in 2018, and it was her first victory on the Korea LPGA since 2015. Upon winning, Ryu offered her entire prize money of just over $200,000 for coronavirus relief funds.

UNDATED (AP) — Having secured a victory in the Belmont Stakes, Tiz the Law now faces an 11-week wait until the Kentucky Derby in a reconfigured Triple Crown series. In between, the bay colt who became the first New York-bred to win the Belmont since 1882 is being pointed toward the Travers on Aug. 8 in upstate New York, which is his home turf.

Tiz the Law has five wins in six career starts by an average of 19 1/4 lengths. His only loss came at Churchill Downs last year, and he’ll get a chance to avenge it over the same track in the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5.

SANTA ANITA-FATALITIES

Horse injured, euthanized after race at Santa Anita

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) — A horse injured after crossing the finish line of a race at Santa Anita has been euthanized, making it the 15th fatality at the track since late December.

Strictly Biz, a 4-year-old colt, fractured his right knee while galloping past the finish of the sixth race Saturday. The attending veterinarian determined it was an unrecoverable injury.

Ridden by Jose Valdivia Jr., Strictly Biz finished sixth among eight horses in the $51,000 race on the turf. Trained by Brian Koriner and owned by Jay Em Ess Stable, the colt had one win in four career starts and earnings of $29,000, according to Equibase.

The California track’s spring-summer meet ends Sunday.

BRITAIN-SUPERBIKERIDER DIES

British superbike rider dies after crash at English track

DERBY, England (AP) — A British superbike rider has died after being involved in a collision with another bike at an event on the Donington Park track in central England Sunday.

Organizers of the No Limits Trackday event say Ben Godfrey died from the injuries he suffered from falling from his bike. Godfrey was 25 and raced in the British Superbike Championship.

The No Limits Trackdays director described Godfrey as “a fantastic young man” and said he was “friends with so many people in the paddock, he was always smiling and had time for everyone.”

OBIT-MAX TUERK

Former NFL, USC offensive lineman Max Tuerk dies at 26

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Tuerk, an All-America offensive lineman at Southern California who was drafted by the Chargers, has died. He was 26. USC announced his death on Twitter, but did not say when Tuerk died or provide a cause of death. Tuerk played for the Trojans from 2012-15.

He was a freshman All-American and an All-Pac-12 first-team selection in 2014.

As a three-year starter, he played under three head coaches — Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian and Clay Helton. He was taken by the Chargers in the 2016 NFL draft, and played one game for the Arizona Cardinals before being cut in 2018.

In world and national news…

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City hits a key point Monday in trying to rebound from the nation’s deadliest coronavirus outbreak. For the first time in three months, New Yorkers will be able to dine out, though only at outdoor tables. Shoppers can once again browse in the city’s destination stores, shaggy heads can get haircuts and kids can climb playground monkey bars, instead of their apartment walls. Office workers can return to their desks, though many won’t yet. Monday marks just the second of four reopening phases, but Mayor Bill de Blasio calls it “the single biggest piece of our economy.”

LONDON (AP) — The English town of Reading is mourning for three people stabbed to death in what is being treated as a terror attack. Residents gathered for a moment of silence Monday as police questioned the suspected lone wolf attacker. More than 100 students lit candles and laid flowers in memory of history teacher James Furlong, who was named as one of the victims. An American friend of his was also killed. Three others were seriously wounded in the stabbing attack Saturday in Reading, west of London. Police say a 25-year-old man who is believed to be the lone attacker was in custody but his motive is unclear.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Police say a shooting in North Carolina’s largest city has left two people dead and seven others wounded, while five others were hit by vehicles at the scene. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Deputy Chief Johnny Jennings told reporters early Monday that the shooting happened at an “impromptu block party” that was a continuation of Juneteenth celebrations. Police say preliminary information indicated several shooters fired dozens of shots into the crowd. No one was in custody as of Monday morning. The conditions of those shot and wounded weren’t immediately clear, but the five struck by cars were believed to have suffered non-life-threatening-injuries.

SEATTLE (AP) — Police say one person has been wounded in the second shooting in Seattle’s protest zone in less than 48 hours. The shooting happened late Sunday night in the area near Seattle’s downtown known as CHOP, for “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest.” Police tweeted that one person was at a hospital with a gunshot wound. A hospital spokesperson says that the person was in serious condition. A pre-dawn shooting Saturday had left a 19-year-old man dead and another person critically injured. No arrests in that shooting had been made as of Sunday. Further details weren’t immediately available.
