ROSS, N.D. (AP) – An Alabama man was killed in western North Dakota when his car collided head-on with a tractor-trailer 10 miles southwest of Ross.
The Highway Patrol says it happened Tuesday afternoon on Highway 1804 when the semi had finished going through a curve in the road and the car crossed into the oncoming lane.
The accident killed 32-year-old Miguel Parrilla-Guadalupe, of Huntsville, Alabama. The truck driver wasn’t injured.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo attorney who won a court battle over a confiscated pay loader that was given away by a state agent says a proposed bill in the Legislature would allow police officers rather than a judge decide what happens to allegedly stolen property.
The proposal by Rep. Kim Koppelman of West Fargo would repeal two sections of state law that require police to hold confiscated property until a judge decides what to do with it.
Fargo attorney Mark Friese, who last month successfully argued for police to return a stolen loader to his client, says he doesn’t think it’s a good idea to take the courts out of the process.
Koppelman says his proposal scraps old laws that conflict with a 1991 law regarding confiscated property.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lawmakers are considering several measures aimed at combating sex trafficking in the state.
The legislation includes increased penalties for sex traffickers and funding for services to victims. It also would prohibit sexually exploited youths from being treated as criminals.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that the sex trafficking was only “suspected” in North Dakota until recently. Stenehjem and others told the committee that sex trafficking has become an increased problem in the now oil-rich state.
Christina Sambor heads an anti-sex trafficking coalition in the state. She told the committee that they need only to look on the internet “to see the prevalence” of sex trafficking in North Dakota.
Stenehjem says the five bills under consideration “represent real solutions” to curb sex trafficking.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Department of Health says almost 21,000 gallons of oil and more than 19,000 gallons of brine have spilled near Williston.
Oasis Petroleum says it has recovered more than 20,000 gallons of oil from the site of the spill. It says that all but about 42 gallons of the brine that spilled have been recovered. The company says the spill was caused by a tank overflow.
The state’s health department and the Oil and Gas Division are responding to the incident.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota official says a pipeline that spilled nearly 3 million gallons of saltwater produced during oil drilling wasn’t inspected by the state prior to being used.
North Dakota Industrial Commission spokeswoman Alison Ritter said Wednesday that the pipeline was installed in July, but a shortage of qualified inspectors means state oversight has been minimal of new small-gathering pipelines.
The commission oversees about 20,000 miles of pipeline.
Companies are required to file an affidavit stating they followed all state-mandated procedures in building a pipeline. Ritter says Summit Midstream Partners, which owns the pipeline that leaked, filed an affidavit.
Ritter says it’s too early to tell whether the largest saltwater spill in recent state history could’ve been prevented with inspection because the cause remains unclear. The leak was detected Jan. 6.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Local officials say a proposal to bill counties if they send too many prisoners to state lockups doesn’t address North Dakota’s rising population and crime rates.
State’s attorneys and law enforcement officers also say the proposal could pit counties against one another, and put prosecutors and judges in difficult positions when it comes to giving offenders proper sentences.
Lawmakers are considering a proposal to set a county-by-county allocation at state prison facilities using a formula based on population. Counties that exceed their quota would be billed.
State Reps. Chet Pollert and Jon Nelson say the state prison system is full, and there has to be a better solution than building more facilities.
But North Dakota Association of Counties spokesman Aaron Birst says the quota proposal “is quite offensive to county government.”
In world and national news…
BOSTON (AP) – Though much of New England is bouncing back from a winter storm that’s blanketed the region in two to three feet of snow, bitter cold is threatening efforts to quickly clear clogged streets and restore power. Around 7,200 people are still without electricity, with half of those outages on hard-hit Nantucket Island.
BOSTON (AP) – More snow could be on the way for New England. Forecasters are watching two weather systems expected to hit Friday and into the weekend. The first is a fast-moving storm that could pile up to four inches of snow on the more than two feet already covering the Boston area. Forecasters say a second storm loaded with moisture is expected to head over the region this weekend, and could bring snow, or snow turning into rain, starting Sunday night.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court is telling Oklahoma to postpone lethal injection executions using a controversial sedative until the court rules in a challenge involving the drug. Both the state and the lawyers for three inmates facing execution between now and March requested the temporary halt. Left open by the court’s order is whether Oklahoma can carry out an execution that doesn’t involve the drug.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve is again vowing to be “patient” in raising interest rates from record lows. But in a statement after its latest policy meeting, the Fed noted that inflation remains well below its target rate. That’s partly because of a plunge in energy prices and a steadily strengthening dollar.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – California health officials say electronic cigarettes are a health threat, especially to children, and should be strictly regulated like tobacco products. A report by the California Department of Public Health says e-cigarettes emit cancer-causing chemicals and get users hooked on nicotine. California Health Officer Ron Chapman says new generations of young people will become nicotine addicts if the products remain largely unregulated.
