Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 A \u00a0Sacramento, California, man is \u00a0being held in Stutsman County, facing a charge of negligent homicide in addition to multiple drug-related charges.<\/p>\n

32 year old Jordan McKay, was arrested on January 19 on the \u00a0multiple charges including possession of furanyl fentanyl with intent to deliver. On February 22, a charge of negligent homicide, a Class C felony, was added to the charges stemming from the death of Dylan Warkenthien on January 15. The Class C felony negligent homicide charge is punishable by five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Court documents, show that the investigation started when officers were called to the scene where Warkenthien was found dead allegedly caused by a drug overdose.<\/p>\n

A search of the room allegedly found several pills, identified by police the as counterfeit Oxycodone pills containing fentanyl. The pills are small light blue round pills marked “M\u201d on one side and \u201c30\u201d on the other.<\/p>\n

An affidavit of probable cause for the negligent homicide charge contained a blood screen of Warkenthien’s blood that \u00a0tested positive for fentanyl.<\/p>\n

Back on January 15, this year, Jamestown Police issued a public alert that dangerous pills were being sold in the community.<\/p>\n

McKay remains in custody at the Stutsman County Correctional Center on $150,000 bond, awaiting a preliminary hearing for the negligent homicide charge.<\/p>\n

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A former West Fargo Public Schools business education teacher is charged with luring of a minor on an internet site. Ronald Thompson had resigned abruptly earlier this month after police had obtained a search warrant for his property, both at home and at school. West Fargo police say they received a tip from an out-of-state law enforcement agency that investigates online child abuse and exploitation. The 58-year-old Thompson was allegedly attempting to solicit a minor who was actually an undercover agent in a different state. School district officials say they are confident that the investigation has no direct connection to the schools or to any students. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota House has overwhelmingly endorsed bipartisan legislation aimed at creating a broader investment policy for the state\u2019s voter-approved oil tax savings account. Representatives voted 85-8 Wednesday to approve the bill that would tap 20% of future oil tax collections coming into the Legacy Fund to help establish loans for infrastructure projects and provide capital for in-state companies. No one in the Republican-led House spoke in opposition to the bill, which now goes to the Senate, where it also has strong support. Rep. Mike Nathe, the bill\u2019s primary sponsor, says only about 1% of the Legacy Fund\u2019s principal is currently invested in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Federal authorities say they are investigating a drug pipeline that involves moving the powerful opioid fentanyl and other painkillers from the Detroit area to three Native American reservations in North Dakota. U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley says the operation involves \u201ctens of millions of dollars\u201d of narcotics and thus far has targeted 22 defendants from Michigan and eight from North Dakota. The group began dealing oxycontin pills in the state about five years ago and switched to fentanyl during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wrigley says organizers used \u201cviolence, threats, firearms and other means\u201d to recruit people, including many on the Spirit Lake, Turtle Mountain and Fort Berthold reservations who joined to feed their own drug addictions.<\/p>\n
