BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) has ordered the owner of a Minnesota construction company who allegedly failed to get the required licenses to stop doing business
The cease-and-desist order is against Patrick J. Delare, of Becker, Minn., and PJD Construction. A phone number for PJD Construction or Delare could not immediately be found.
Stenehjem says his consumer protection division initiated an investigation after receiving complaints that Delare had taken advance deposits of more than $120,000 to build pole barns but failed to complete them.
Stenehjem says Delare also does not have the required licenses to do business in North Dakota.
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – A jury has convicted a former Dickinson insurance agent accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from a client.
Jurors deliberated more than an hour Monday before finding Scott Biggs guilty of theft of property.
Biggs could face up to 45 years in prison. Assistant Attorney General Jon Byers says the state also plans to seek about $46,000 in restitution. A sentencing and restitution hearing will be scheduled later.
State Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm earlier ordered Biggs to stop doing business in North Dakota.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man is accused of spearheading an operation to smuggle people into the United States at the border of North Dakota and Canada.
Darwin Catarero-Sanchez is charged in federal court with bringing people into the country illegally and harboring them. He has not been asked to enter a plea.
Court documents show that Catarero-Sanchez and seven other people were arrested about 1:30 a.m. on April 6 after they were found walking along a highway near Sherwood.
Catarero-Sanchez allegedly arranged transportation for the group from Montreal. Witnesses say he agreed to smuggle one person into the U.S. for $2,000 and another for $1,500.
U.S. Border Patrol agents detained a total of 11 people in the case. Three people are charged with illegal entry.
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing.

Thirty-year-old David Mau is charged with forgery or counterfeiting and two counts of theft of property. He could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A former educator and coach in northeastern North Dakota has pleaded not guilty to trying to lure girls over the Internet.
Twenty-eight-year-old Jeremy Thompson initially was accused of trying to lure a 12-year-old girl from his former school in Edmore while working as a paraprofessional and coach in Grand Forks schools. Prosecutors later filed additional counts, alleging eight more victims.
Thompson faces eight felony counts of luring a minor by computer and three misdemeanor counts of deprivation of a minor. He was fired from his Grand Forks job in January.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – City, county and school officials have told the North Dakota Senate Appropriations Committee that more than $200 million should be restored in a measure that distributes oil and gas tax revenue.
The Senate Finance and Taxation Committee had stripped the money from a House bill that had proposed more than $737 million be divided up between political subdivisions over the next two years.
Officials from oil-producing counties told senators that the proposed $531 million in funding won’t come close to meeting the needs for such things as road building and repair, utilities, housing and schools.
Sen. Ray Holmberg is chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The Grand Forks Republican says the group could have a recommendation on the funding level this week.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is hosting informational meetings for landowners interested in signing up for the Conservation Reserve Program.
The federal government pays landowners through the CRP to idle sensitive land to prevent erosion and create habitat for wildlife. The next general signup is May 20-June 14.
The informational sessions are being held one hour before upcoming Game and Fish district advisory board meetings.
Meetings are planned April 15 in Esmond and Belfield, April 16 in Watford City and Fordville, April 17 in Minot and Valley City and April 18 in Casselton and Tuttle. More details can be found at the Game and Fish Department website.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – There’s good and bad news for people in the Red River Valley who are monitoring moisture for a possible spring flood.
The cycle of gradual melting came to an end Tuesday when temperatures failed to reach the freezing mark. However, the stubborn cold air over North Dakota pushed a heavy spring storm to the south, where a foot of snow was expected in some areas.
Fargo is bracing for its fourth major flood in five years. Volunteers are working to fill a million sandbags.
Flood expert Paul Todhunter, a University of North Dakota geography professor, says it’s difficult to predict snowmelt floods because there are so many factors involved and the area is in the midst of a wet cycle. He says it’s “not a good environment for nervous people.”
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The Navy has canceled remaining 2013 performances of the Blue Angels because of federal budget cuts, meaning the elite aerial demonstration team will not be headlining this year’s Fargo AirSho as planned.
AirSho committee co-chairman Dick Walstad calls it a “huge blow.” He tells The Forum newspaper that officials are looking at the possibility of holding a fly-in of World War II warbirds to complement the air show performers who are already signed to contracts.
The Aug.10-11 event also will feature the dedication of a new wing at the Fargo Air Museum.
The Blue Angels were the top act at the last Fargo AirSho, in 2011.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – An American Eagle pilot has been charged with three gross misdemeanors after authorities say he failed a blood-alcohol test as he prepared to fly out of the Minneapolis airport in January.
Forty-eight-year-old Kolbjorn Jarle Kristiansen (Kriss-tee-YAHN’-sen) was arrested at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Jan. 4 after airport police smelled alcohol on his breath before a flight to New York City.
Authorities say a preliminary test revealed a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.107 percent. The limit for commercial pilots is 0.04.
Kristiansen, of Raleigh, N.C., was charged Tuesday with three counts related to attempting to operate an aircraft under the influence of alcohol.
Kristiansen’s attorney, Peter Wold, says his client never operated the aircraft or touched the controls.
Wold says Kristiansen remains suspended from American Eagle.
In world and national news…
CYPRESS, Texas (AP) – Officials say at least 14 people have been wounded in a stabbing attack at Houston-area college campus. The Harris County Sheriff’s department confirmed the number of injured in the attack on the Lone Star Community College System’s campus in Cypress. Authorities say at least four of those injured were taken by medical helicopter to hospitals in critical condition. A suspect is in custody. And a sheriff’s spokesman says authorities don’t believe a second suspect was involved.
DETROIT (AP) – Police say two people are missing after a gunman entered medical offices in Detroit, and the building was then burned down. Police say one of the missing people is believed to be a woman who worked in the building — and the other is a man who entered the building Tuesday morning with a gun. The building was destroyed in the fire that followed.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Not all Republican senators are willing to block a Senate vote on significant new gun restrictions. Conservatives have said they will use procedural tactics to try to keep the Senate from even considering the restrictions, including background checks for more gun buyers. But at least five GOP senators are expressing a willingness to let the gun debate proceed. And that may be just enough votes. Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma says, “The American people ought to see where everybody stands on this.”
WASHINGTON (AP) – Liberal groups have been rallying outside the White House Tuesday — urging President Barack Obama to change his mind on cuts to Social Security and Medicare that are part of the budget he’ll release tomorrow. Organizers say they’re delivering petitions with more than 2 million signatures to the White House. They’re especially upset over an inflation adjustment that would reduce cost-of-living increases for Social Security beneficiaries. The White House says Obama’s budget isn’t ideal, but represents a compromise aimed at finding a bipartisan solution to the nation’s budget challenges.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – After sitting through nearly three months of testimony, jurors in New Hampshire have taken less than 90 minutes to find Exxon Mobil liable in a lawsuit over groundwater contamination caused by the gasoline additive MTBE. The jurors ordered the oil giant to pay $236 million to New Hampshire to clean it up. This was the longest state trial in New Hampshire history.
