BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Weather experts say central and western North Dakota will have a snowier winter than last year, though accumulation totals won\u2019t be that hard to beat. According to the National Weather Service, Bismarck had 16.7 inches of snow last winter when the norm is 50.5 inches. Winter outlooks from the National Weather Service, AccuWeather and The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac expect it to be colder than normal in the Northern Plains.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Mandan man has pleaded guilty to charges resulting from a drunken driving crash that killed a pedestrian. Twenty-year-old TC Younger Carry Moccasin entered the plea to two felonies, including criminal vehicular homicide, and two misdemeanors Monday as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota consumer protection officials are warning about recent gift card scams that have resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says that at the holiday season especially, it’s good to remember that gift cards should be used as gifts, not to settle an account payment or for a phony sweepstakes. The Attorney General\u2019s consumer protection division reports that in the last two weeks, they have received nine reports from victims of gift card scams, with losses totaling $45,000. The victims, who range in age from 26 to 75, reportedly fell for different versions of the scam, including fake sweepstakes officials pretending the victim had won a prize but needed to make an upfront payment.<\/p>\n
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Prosecutors in the manslaughter trial of a Minnesota police officer charged in the shooting death of Daunte Wright have walked jurors through the differences between her handgun and her Taser. They’re trying to raise questions about how an experienced officer could pull a Taser by mistake. The 20-year-old Black motorist was killed April 11 after police pulled him over in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center for having expired license plate tags and an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror. The officer who shot him, Kim Potter, resigned two days after the shooting and is charged with manslaughter. Prosecutors need to show she acted recklessly or with culpable negligence. Testimony was scheduled to resume Tuesday and the state is expected to rest its case midweek.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Pfizer says that its experimental COVID-19 pill appears effective against the omicron variant. The company also confirmed Tuesday that the pill delivered on promising early results in reducing COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths.

If authorized, the pills would be the first COVID-19 drugs that Americans could take at home to treat the virus. Pfizer is seeking U.S. authorization for high-risk adults but is also studying the drug in lower-risk adults. The company said the drug missed a key study goal in ongoing testing of those patients.<\/p>\n
