MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot woman will serve 30 days in jail for driving while high on meth with her 5-year-old daughter in the car.

The Minot Daily News reports 26-year-old Sydney Pearcy pleaded guilty Wednesday in state court to a misdemeanor charge. In addition to the jail time, she must pay $1,125 in court costs and spend 1 ½ years on probation.

Authorities say Pearcy was stopped by a police officer March 7, and her daughter was unrestrained in the car’s back seat. Pearcy was arrested and taken to jail, where a corrections officer found a meth pipe hidden in her bra.

Pearcy pleaded guilty in city court earlier to driving under suspension and not having her daughter properly restrained. She was given a suspended jail sentence and fined $375.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Fargo man convicted of murder and arson in the deaths of two people in the city will be sentenced later this year.

Court documents show that sentencing for Ashley Hunter has been scheduled for Sept. 5. He could face life in prison.

A jury last Friday convicted Hunter in the hammer-beating death of 24-year-old Sam Traut and in the stabbing death of 45-year-old Clarence Flowers in 2015. Authorities say Hunter killed Flowers in a drug dispute, and that he killed Traut the next day due to drug-fueled paranoia.

Traut was a recent North Dakota State University engineering graduate from Sartell, Minnesota.

 

 

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The U.S. Drought Monitor shows that most of the Dakotas are experiencing drought conditions that are harming farmers and cattle producers.

Roughly 700,000 people across both states are living in drought areas. The parched conditions have expanded and deteriorated compared to last week.

South Dakota State University Extension State Climatologist Laura Edwards says she’s heard of feed shortages in the state causing cattle sales that will likely continue. Edwards says also that there have been significant winter wheat losses in central South Dakota.

Edwards says she doesn’t anticipate conditions will improve in the near term.
