Jamestown, ND (KCSi- T.V. News Nov 7, 2013) Officials, Thursday morning, at the University of Jamestown had warned students and faculty via E-Mail to stay in a secure location, as the campus was on lockdown.

An email to students about 11:15 a.m. from Liz Hunt, UJ assistant to the president, said,

“We have a troubled student on campus that has gone missing and we are currently searching for him. The police have been alerted. … We ask that everyone remain on lockdown until further notice.”

The campus went into lockdown about 11-a.m.

Polly Peterson, vice president for advancement and business affairs at the University says, an incident had occurred but would not elaborate until the investigation is over.

A search on the campus involved multiple law enforcement agencies, and continued into the downtown area.

Jamestown, Police Chief Scott Edinger said, the campus went into lock down, and that “The student made threats to other students.”

The campus was in lock down for nearly an hour.

A male, in connection with the incident was taken into custody, without incident, about 11:30 a.m. at the Community Corrections Office, in the 100 block of First Street West.

Emergency emails to UJ students said police took Robert Flores into custody.

The Highway Patrol has another individual, a female, in custody, found back at the University campus outside Taber Hall, about 11:35 a.m.  That individual was questioned by law enforcement and released.

University officials declined to immediately provide more details, citing an ongoing investigation.

Edinger says the incident is still under investigation, by law enforcement, however there is no danger at this time. He says there could be no charges, or possibly disorderly conduct or terrorizing, charges.

As of Thursday afternoon, Flores had not yet been charged, as police communicate with the Stutsman County State’s Attorney office in the investigation.

The University of Jamestown Thursday afternoon issued a statement concerning Thursday’s events.

“University of Jamestown went into lockdown for approximately one hour this morning after administrators became aware of concerns related to a male student whose whereabouts were unknown.

Because of the significance of the concerns, administrators notified law enforcement and contacted the campus community via e-mail and emergency text message, requesting that all locate to a place where they were safe. All buildings were locked and the entrances to the campus were secured until the person in question was detained.

Thanks to the timely response from the local authorities, the individual was located in downtown Jamestown. The individual is being detained off-campus by the proper authorities.

“The safety and well-being of our campus is of primary importance to us and we will continue to place priority on ensuring that actions such as these are handled with the care and sensitivity they deserve,” says Dean of Students Gary Van Zinderen.

The campus response was the first of its kind. Communications, the lock-down, and interagency cooperation was effective overall in protecting the safety of the campus community. A continued investigation is proceeding through the Jamestown Police Department and the University is in full cooperation with police officials.”

Company officials say their “Dakota model” keeps costs low by placing high-tech jobs in rural locations in the northern Great Plains.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Tens of thousands of deer hunters are taking to the fields of North Dakota — but the bigger story might be how many are staying home.
 
     The state’s deer gun season opens at noon and runs through Nov. 24. The state’s deer population has declined dramatically in less than a decade’s time due to harsh winters, leading to a 30-year low in available licenses this year.
 
     About 40,000 hunters tried but failed to get a license. But for the 59,500 who did get one, Game and Fish Wildlife Chief Randy Kreil says it should be a good season with mostly favorable weather.
 
     There is some rain and snow in the forecast opening day, but Kreil says the longer-term forecast doesn’t call for any big weather systems that would hamper hunting.

 

 MEDORA, N.D. (AP) – Forest Service district ranger Ron Jablonski is cautioning deer hunters about dry conditions on the Little Missouri National Grasslands in western North Dakota.

     He’s asking hunters to be careful where they park their vehicles, because catalytic converters can ignite dry grass.
 
     Friday is the first day of North Dakota’s deer gun hunting season.
