Change of plea hearing

 VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) – A change of plea hearing has been scheduled for the two people accused of torching a Valley City church to cover up a break-in.
 
     Barnes County State’s Attorney Carl Martineck says  the hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 25, 2014.
 
    Andrew  Miklas and Nicole Lindermann, of Kathryn, were charged with burglarizing Faith Lutheran Church on Oct. 6, 2014.  Both pleaded not guilty to all charges.
 
     The fire caused an estimated $2.5 million in damage to Faith Lutheran Church. The 800-member congregation has decided to build a new church at the same spot.
