Valley City (CSi) Valley City Police Chief, Phil Hatcher reports, on Sunday (Jun 25, 2017) The Police Department, was dispatched to Family Dollar Store concerning a man with a gun, in the parking lot.
The male had reportedly called the store reporting that he was in the parking lot holding a female hostage, and wanted pre-paid credit card numbers given to him or he would harm the hostage.
Valley City Police, and the Barnes County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene and began to investigate, finding nobody in any cars outside the business, which matched the description of what was reported.
Officers made contact with the store and determined they were still talking to the suspect on the phone. Officers then took over the call as part of the investigation while officers worked with a cell phone provider to determine the location of the caller. No threat of imminent harm, or a hostage was ever located at the Valley City store.
The cell phone the male suspect was using was “pinged” by the cell phone provider and determined to be in Alabama. Contact was made with the local law enforcement jurisdiction of the ping and further investigation is being done to determine who made the call, and to the extent of other calls being made to other Family Dollar establishment.
Charges of terrorizing are pending at this time.
Chief Hatcher extends a huge “thankyou,” to the Barnes County Sheriff’s Office and the Barnes County Dispatch for the assistance in the matter.

| BISMARCK N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has proclaimed a statewide fire and drought emergency because of extremely dry conditions.Burgum on Monday ordered all state agencies to maintain high levels of readiness. The executive order activates the state emergency operations plan and authorizes Maj. Gen. Alan Dohrmann, adjutant general of the North Dakota National Guard, to activate the Guard if needed to support local and tribal governments.
The dry conditions, lack of rain and high winds have created a fire emergency in North Dakota and hurt livestock water supplies, crop and pasture conditions. The risk of wildfires also has increased much earlier than normal. So far 30 counties have issued emergency declarations, burning bans or other fire restrictions. 32-year-old Tony Tanner was apprehended after a complex investigation into his late winter crime spree. Officers used Facebook, store surveillance footage and interviews to identify Tanner as the suspect in several crimes reported in the Bismarck area. South Central District Judge James Hill ordered Tanner to serve four years at the state penitentiary followed by three years on probation. He is also required to undergo a chemical dependency evaluation and treatment. The parties will have 60 days to come to a resolution on repaying property owners.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Two years after the Air Force opened the massive Powder River Training Complex over the Northern Plains, ranchers impacted by military aircraft exercises say progress has been made in addressing disruptions. That’s thanks in large part to a new advisory group. About three dozen people representing the interests of ranchers, pilots, airports, the military and others attended the first meeting of the Powder River Council last November at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. South Dakota Stockgrowers Association officials say the effort is helping, though there’s still work to do. Beginning Tuesday, military planes from bases in eight states will take part in the three-day Combat Raider exercise in the 35,000-square-mile complex over the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming that’s the largest over the continental U.S. The art center removed the gallows-like sculpture called “Scaffold” because of opposition from those who said it brought back painful memories of the mass hanging of 38 Dakota men in 1862. Artist Sam Durant said the sculpture was intended to raise awareness about capital punishment and America’s violent past. But, protesters said it was insensitive and trivialized a dark chapter in Minnesota and Dakota history. The wood remains in storage. Mediator Stephanie Hope Smith tells the Star Tribune the meeting Sunday did not set any time or process on how the wood should be handled. The project includes removing trees and repairing erosion damage along the river bank. The estimated cost is $2 million for the work scheduled in the next few years. The corps updated its standards for levees after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and other areas in 2005 and is now requiring upgrades to meet those criteria. Minot City Manager Tom Barry says the funding will help maintain and upgrade the city’s flood protection system. The 2011 Souris River flood damaged or destroyed more than 4,000 homes and other structures and caused nearly $700 million in damage. The discussion of giving the oil industry access to the water from the river began this spring after a State Water Commission hydrologist found North Dakota was granting water permits for fracking and other uses that violated a state law. State lawmakers recently voted in favor of changing the law, but Gov. Doug Burgum issued a moratorium in May by that suspended temporary water permits. Burgum and other members of the State Water Commission voted Thursday to lift the moratorium. They adopted a new policy that allows the temporary water permits.
