Jamestown  (CSi)  After a lengthy pursuit, area law enforcement agencies  did not locate, a black Ford F150 pickup truck that drove off from a gas station in north Jamestown Thursday afternoon.

Jamestown Police Department Sgt. Brian Miller said the pursuit started around 3:22 p.m. when a call came into Stutsman County Communications about a pickup truck driving off with one man in the truck,without paying for $90 in gas from Casey’s General Store, 1003 13th Street, Northeast.  Jamestown police officers tried to pull the pickup truck over, but it took off.

Subsequently the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office and Foster County Sheriff’s Office pursued the pickup. Thursday afternoon. Jamestown Police  discontinued the pursuit as the pickup truck moved north out of the Police Department’s jurisdiction.

Stutsman County Sheriff Chad Kaiser said his deputies called off their pursuit for safety reasons after the driver continued at a speed on U.S. Highway 281/52 into Foster County reaching 98 mph..

Foster County Sheriff Ian Mattice said Foster County deputies pursued the pickup about 2 miles north of Bordulac before he called off the pursuit for safety reasons.

The incident remains under investigation by the Jamestown Police Department.

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Fire Department was called out about 11:15 a.m., Thursday to a reported natural gas line break in Northwest Jamestown.

Lt. Sheldon Mohr reported that two units and six firefighters were on stand by until the gas line was shut off at the source and to the home and repairs could begin.

Mark Hanson with MDU reported that a home near the break was evacuated as a precaution in the 400 block of 4th Street Northwest. The MDU crew safely shut off service to all the affected homes by 11:30 a.m.

About 20 homes lost gas service after construction caused the gas line break.

The City Fire Department cleared the scene just before noon.

Valley City (CSi) The North Dakota Legislative Management’s Interim Higher Education Committee will meet at Valley City State University June 7-8, 2016.

The first meeting will begin at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7 in the Skoal Room of the VCSU Student Center.

The second meeting will begin at 8:30a.m. on Wednesday, June 8 in the Skoal Room of the VCSU Student Center.

Included on the agenda will be presentations and committee discussion regarding higher education budget issues, student financial assistance programs, the North Dakota University System campus master plan and space utilization study, and potential legislation to be recommended by the committee, along with updates on issues affecting Valley City State University and a tour of a few VCSU facilities.

During the 2015 legislative session more than $40 million was appropriated for projects on the VCSU campus. One of these projects is the $14.2 million construction of the heating plant which is underway now on the campus.

VCSU President, Tisa Mason, says the proposed funding for the construction of a new music hall and communications center is on hold due to state funding cuts.

The projects are tied to contingent funding and can only be triggered when the state general fund ending balance reaches $126 million.

Earlier this year Governor Jack Dalrymple issued state budget cuts to balance the 2017 budget due to slumping oil prices and weaker commodity prices in the Agricultural industry.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A Ray man who authorities say narrowly missed hitting three children with his sport utility vehicle as he fled from an officer faces numerous charges.

Thirty-three-year-old Richard Isom faces reckless endangerment, fleeing and other charges that could land him in prison for more than 16 years if he’s convicted.

Court documents don’t list an attorney for him, and a home telephone listing couldn’t be found. He could enter pleas at a July 21 hearing.

Isom allegedly led police on a chase that wound through Williston and ended in a crash outside city limits the night of May 27.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – A man who acted as a go-between in the murder-for-hire of Spokane businessman Doug Carlile will serve 22 years in federal prison.
Forty-one-year-old Robert Delao was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Salvador Mendoza.
The Spokesman-Review reports  Delao was also the government’s key witness against criminal mastermind James Henrikson.
Law officers called  Delao’s cooperation “pivotal” in convicting Henrikson, who was sent to prison for life after a jury convicted him of ordering the deaths of Carlile and Kristopher Clarke.
Henrikson ordered the deaths of the two men, who he believed stood in the way of his business interests in the oil fields of North Dakota.
Todd Bates, the final person indicted in the Carlile killing, is scheduled to appear in court later this month.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An elderly man from Kentucky who allegedly joined a Jamaican lottery scam after he was victimized himself has been sentenced to time served and ordered to help pay back more than $5 million in losses to other victims.

Seventy-four-year-old James Simpson pleaded guilty in September 2014 to a conspiracy charge. Authorities say he opened individual bank accounts, deposited money and transferred funds on orders from scam leader Lavrick Willocks.

Simpson is confined to a hospital bed and did not appear at Thursday’s hearing.

The case came to light when an elderly North Dakota woman had her savings wiped out by the scam. The victims included a couple from South Dakota and people from several other states.

Willocks is one of six fugitives in the case who has not been located.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Farm Bureau is asking a federal judge to declare the state’s anti-corporate farming law unconstitutional.

Farm Bureau says in the lawsuit filed Thursday that the law restricts farmers from business tools they need to prosper and lowers the value of their operations. Farm Bureau says it also discriminates against residents of other states.

The Associated Press asked Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem for comment on the lawsuit.

The North Dakota Legislature last year decided to allow non-family corporations to own hog and dairy operations, to boost those dying industries.

The North Dakota Farmers Union supports the anti-corporate farming law. The group successfully petitioned the changes by lawmakers to the June 14 election ballot. Residents will vote on whether to uphold those exemptions.

In world and national news…

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – A Minnesota medical examiner says Prince died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl. That’s a synthetic opioid that is many times more potent than heroin. The report from the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office was issued Thursday, more than a month after the music superstar was found dead at age 57 at his Paisley Park mansion. The single-page report said Prince “self-administered fentanyl.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Los Angeles police chief says investigators believe the man who carried out the UCLA murder-suicide went to the campus to kill two professors. Chief Charlie Beck says the second professor was off campus Wednesday when Mainak Sarkar (MY’-nahk SUR’-kahr) arrived armed with two guns and many rounds of ammunition. Sarkar killed engineering professor Bill Klug and then killed himself. Beck says the other professor’s name turned up in a “kill list” discovered in Sarkar’s Minnesota residence. A woman also named on that list was found dead early today of an apparent gunshot at her Minnesota home.

CHCIAGO (AP) – A special prosecutor will handle the case of a white Chicago police officer who shot a black teenager 16 times. That announcement came today from a judge in the case. But civil rights attorneys are pushing for a wider investigation into whether other officers at the scene tried to cover up what happened. Officer Jason Van Dyke is seen on video shooting Laquan McDonald 16 times, firing even after the 17-year-old crumpled to the ground. It set off protests that led to the resignation of the police chief.

HOUSTON (AP) – Parts of Texas still recovering from heavy rainfall are watching new storms that could dump up to 10 inches of rain. That would worsen flooding in rivers and other waterways that already have risen to record levels. More rain is forecast in Southeast Texas through Saturday. One storm system moved through the Houston-area Wednesday night and Thursday  morning, dumping nearly eight inches of rain in some of the city’s northern suburbs and leading to some flooding.

NEW YORK (AP) – Scientists are proposing a long-term project that involves creating DNA blueprints for making human beings. And that’s a prospect some observers find troubling. The researchers said they have no intention of using these genomes – huge collections of genetic material – to make people. Instead, they say human genomes would be used in lab experiments aimed at things like identifying the effects of genetic mutations. The project is proposed by 25 scientists in a paper released today by the journal Science.
