(AP) \u2014 A Rhode Island man accused by prosecutors of having a \u201cleadership role\u201d an international fentanyl trafficking operation has been sentenced in North Dakota to 33 years in federal prison. Steven Pinto is one of more than 30 people, including a handful of Chinese nationals, accused of dealing large amounts of the powerful opioid in the U.S. and Canada. Deaths from the drug traced to the operation have been reported in North Dakota, North Carolina, New Jersey and Oregon. The 40-year-old Pinto, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, was convicted by a jury in June following a five-week trial. The investigation known as \u201cOperation Denial\u201d began after 18-year-old Bailey Henke, of Grand Forks, North Dakota, died from a fatal overdose in January 2015.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Enbridge has failed to meet a deadline set by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for cleaning up a site where an aquifer ruptured during construction of the Line 3 oil pipeline. The DNR had given the company until Friday to repair the damage to the artesian aquifer near Clearbrook. Regulators will require compensation for the additional time it takes to stop the groundwater flow. The Star Tribune reports that regulators are also investigating two other sites where the company may have caused additional groundwater damage. Enbridge spokeswoman Julie Kellner says the company is \u201cfully cooperating\u201d with the DNR. Line 3 starts in Alberta, Canada, and clips a corner of North Dakota before crossing Minnesota en route to Enbridge\u2019s terminal in Superior, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A former West Fargo teacher has been convicted of luring a minor by computer. Prosecutors say 59-year-old Ron Thompson believed he was communicating with a 14-year-old girl. West Fargo police received a tip from an out-of-state investigator on Jan. 28 that Thompson was attempting to solicit a minor online. The \u201cminor\u201d who Thompson was attempting to lure was actually an out-of-state investigator posing as a minor. The jury deliberated about four hours before reaching a verdict Friday. Thompson faces up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. A sentencing date has not been set.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Mandaree man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for leading state and federal authorities on a January chase that ended when he and a passenger abandoned a stolen vehicle in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. A jury in May found Clancey Lone Fight guilty of domestic assault, fleeing, and other charges. The incident started with a Jan. 25 call to authorities of a pickup being stolen from a Fairfield residence. Officers initiated a chase that reached speeds close to 100 mph. Lone Fight was arrested at a Dickinson hospital when he sought medical attention for frostbite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n UJ<\/p>\n Saturday<\/p>\n Jimmies Football<\/p>\n Northwestern College (IA)<\/p>\n Northwestern 63 Jamestown 7<\/p>\n Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Men\u2019s Soccer<\/p>\n Bellevue 4\u00a0 Jamestown 1<\/p>\n Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Women\u2019s Volleyball<\/p>\n Jamestown def Hastings College 25-16,25-8,25-14<\/span><\/p>\n Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n D-I Hockey<\/p>\n Jamestown 2 Midland University 1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n (UJ<\/a>)\u00a0 The 13th-ranked University of Jamestown hockey team completed a weekend sweep of Midland (Neb.)
