Bismarck (NDHP) On the evening of October 5th, 2021 the North Dakota Highway Patrol conducted an aircraft detail to safely and more effectively apprehend suspects that flee from traffic stops in the Bismarck-Mandan area. The North Dakota Highway Patrol fixed-wing aircraft was used to monitor traffic stops conducted by local law enforcement in the event a vehicle fled.
At 8:16 pm CDT, a Bismarck Police Officer attempted to stop a motorcycle for a traffic violation. The driver of the motorcycle fled from the officer at a high rate of speed. Due to the dangerous nature of the driver’s actions that posed a risk to other motorists, the officer did not pursue the suspect. The NDHP’s fixed-wing aircraft was monitoring the traffic stop. The aircraft tracked the motorcycle to a residence in rural Bismarck. Officers responded to the residence and identified the driver as a 16-year-old male. The driver was referred to juvenile court by the Bismarck PD for fleeing a police officer and reckless endangerment-extreme indifference.
Incidents of drivers fleeing law enforcement has been increasing. Through October 5, 2021, the North Dakota Highway Patrol has been involved in 72 pursuits statewide. Drivers who flee law enforcement place themselves, other motorists, and pedestrians in danger by their actions.
Due to these incidents, the North Dakota Highway Patrol more frequently engages the fixed-wing aircraft to monitor traffic stops conducted by local law enforcement. These traffic details allow law enforcement to more effectively apprehend suspects that flee and result in enhanced safety to the public.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A man accused of shooting at police officers outside a Fargo hotel in 2019 has been acquitted of attempted murder and aggravated assault. But, a jury Monday found Henry Aiken guilty on two other charges _ terrorizing and reckless endangerment. The 55-year-old Aiken earlier pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm. Officers responding to the Radisson Inn in November 2019 found Aiken armed with a gun. Police say he fired one shot toward officers and additional shots at the hotel before entering the lobby where he was quickly arrested. Police say Aiken appeared confused and in crisis at the time.
Update
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota state trooper who fatally shot a Montana man along an interstate last month has been cleared of any wrongdoing. The Morton County State’s Attorney’s Office determined Trooper Steve Mayer was justified in his use of deadly force against 45-year-old Craig Knutson, of Billings. Mayer was assisting Morton County sheriff’s deputies who attempted to stop Knutson who refused to pull over on Interstate 94 west of Mandan on Sept. 7. Knutson’s father, Jerry Knutson, also of Billings, told The Bismarck Tribune he had no issues with Mayer being cleared because “he did what he had to do.” He said he was thankful his son did not get into a wreck on the highway or shoot an officer.
FORT YATES, N.D. (AP) — The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has elected a woman to be its next leader. Results released Tuesday show that Janet Alkire would be the first woman to head the tribal council in more than two decades. Gates Kelley was elected Standing Rock chairwoman in 1946 and was the first woman to lead a tribe in the United States. South Dakota Public Broadcasting reports that Alkire received 829 votes to defeat current tribal Vice Chairman Ira Taken Alive, who came in with 762 votes. Taken Alive said he is contesting the results. Alkire is a 15-year Air Force veteran who served as Standing Rock’s executive director twice. The Standing Rock Reservation straddles the North Dakota and South Dakota border and is home to about 8,000 people.

Jamestown 3 Presentation College 2
ABERDEEN, S.D. (UJ) — The University of Jamestown women’s soccer team returned to GPAC conference play Wednesday, defeating Presentation College 3-2.
The Saints took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute as Abbie Rodgers scored on a pass from Marissa Gaytan. Rodgers unleashed a kick from the right side over the arms of Jimmie keeper Alex Nowka (JR/Anchorage, Alaska), into the top corner of the net.
Cassandra Diaz (JR/Montebello, Calif.) brought the Jimmies level in the 32nd minute with an assist by Natalia Rodriguez (SR/Camarillo, Calif.). Despite a Presentation defender getting a foot on the ball, the bounce went up just enough for Diaz to execute a one-timer shot from just inside the box to make it 1-1.
Diaz notched her second of the match in the 55th minute, heading in a corner kick from Kamryn Fiscus (JR/Yakima, Wash.) to make it 2-1. Fiscus then extended the UJ lead to 3-1 in the 56th minute. Iliana Ramirez (FR/Marysville, Wash.) passed the ball over to Fiscus, who then put a shot on net from about 25 yards out that went right into the back of the net.
The Saints got within a goal in the 74th minute as Georgia-May Murphy scored from a pass by Julia Gutierrez.
Nowka finished with two saves for Jamestown, which outshot Presentation 18-5 overall and 16-4 on target.

Eric Fairtlough (SR/Varese, Italy) helped set up Pike’s opening goal, then Lubungo scored an unassisted goal, notching his second in as many matches. Then, ten seconds from the break, Gio Cassaro (FR/Temecula, Calif.) found Vrchota near the top of the 18-yard box, and Vrchota needed just one touch to beat the Saints keeper.
Armando Quintero ended Jamestown’s shutout hopes in the 62nd minute, and the score remained 3-1 until Pike netted his second in the 85th minute.
Shots were 10-6 in favor of the Jimmies, as were shots on target (7-4). Alex Hamer (SR/Solihull, England) had three saves for Jamestown.
In world and national news
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge has ordered Texas to suspend a new law that has banned most abortions in the state since September. The order Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman freezes for now the strict abortion law known as Senate Bill 8. It bans abortions once cardiac activity is detected, which is usually around six weeks. That is before some women even know they’re pregnant. The decision is the first legal blow to the Texas law since the U.S. Supreme Court allowed it to take effect last month. Abortion providers in Texas say the restrictions have backlogged clinics hundreds of miles away as women now leave state borders to seek care. Texas officials were expected to seek a swift appeal.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is poised to sue government contractors and other companies who receive U.S. government grants if they fail to report breaches of their cyber systems. That’s according to the Justice Department’s No. 2 official. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said the department is prepared to take legal action under a statute called the False Claims Act against contractors who misuse federal dollars by failing to disclose hacks or by having deficient cybersecurity standards. The department will also protect whistleblowers who come forward to report those issues.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican and Democratic senators have edged back from a perilous standoff over lifting the nation’s borrowing cap. Democrats are signaling they are receptive to an offer from Republican leader Mitch McConnell that would allow for an emergency debt limit extension into December. McConnell made the offer late Wednesday. That was shortly before Republicans were prepared to block legislation to suspend the limit much further — into December of next year — and as President Joe Biden and business leaders ramped up their concerns over what an unprecedented federal default would mean for the nation’s economy.
TOKYO (AP) — Global shares and U.S. futures are higher, tracking a rally on Wall Street after signs of progress on resolving the standoff in Congress over the federal debt ceiling. Benchmarks rose Thursday in Paris, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Shanghai trading was closed for a Chinese national holiday. Investors are hoping Congress may manage to temporarily extend the federal government’s debt ceiling and buy lawmakers time to reach a more permanent resolution. An agreement in principle between U.S. and Chinese envoys on a virtual meeting between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping also brightened the mood.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Tanzanian writer Abdulrazak Gurnah has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

He is the author of 10 novels, including “Paradise,” which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1994. The prestigious award comes with a gold medal and 10 million Swedish kronor (over $1.14 million).
QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — A powerful earthquake has collapsed at least one coal mine and as many as 100 mud houses in a remote, mountainous part of southwest Pakistan. The quake early Thursday killed at least 23 people as the death toll crept higher. At least another 200 people were injured. A local official says the death toll is expected to rise further. At least four of the dead were working in a coal mine when it collapsed. The 5.9 magnitude quake was in a remote part of Baluchistan province where most residents live in sunbaked mud houses. Television images showed people wrapped in blankets outdoors in the chilly morning air waiting for the aftershocks to subside and for help to arrive.
