FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fire has caused extensive damage at a strip mall in Fargo. Authorities say the three-alarm fire broke out in Bodyworks Physical Therapy Tuesday afternoon and spread to Gigi’s Playhouse which serves individuals with Down syndrome. Fire officials say a firewall between Gigi’s and another business slowed the fire from spreading further. Damage beyond the firewall was limited to a mechanical room. Authorities say the blaze burned through the roof at the two businesses and caused heavy water damage elsewhere. Crews from West Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota were also called to the fire. One firefighter suffered a minor injury, but no civilians were hurt.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The judge handling the case of a man accused of killing four people at a Mandan property management business has denied a request by more defense attorneys to quit the case. But Judge David Reich gave the attorneys more time to prepare by pushing trial back to August. Chad Isaak is accused of killing a co-owner and three employees of RJR Maintenance and Management in 2019. Robert Quick was allowed to withdraw as lead defense attorney after Isaak filed a disciplinary complaint against him. Several attorneys hired by Quick as secondary counsel also asked to withdraw on Monday. Reich rejected that, saying the attorneys should have expected they might take over the case because they entered their appearances as co-counsel.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The House chamber at the North Dakota Capitol will be used as a courtroom for a pair of high-profile criminal trials this spring, in part to ensure social distancing.

Separately, the trial for a man accused of killing four people at a Mandan business is set to begin June 7 at the Capitol.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A jury in Burleigh County will decide if a Moffit man charged in a fatal stabbing committed murder or was acting in self-defense. Forty-eight-year-old Arthur Funk is charged in the June 2020 death of 53-year-old Kevin Stockert, of Mandan. Prosecutors say the two men fought when Funk, who had been staying with Stockert’s girlfriend, failed to return her car. Prosecutor Chase Lingle says Stockert was stabbed numerous times, suffered a broken rib and was left to die with Funk making no attempt to call for medical help. Defense attorney Scott Rose told jurors that Funk was still in the driver’s seat of a car when he was punched by Stockert, the two struggled and Stockert had no other option but to defend himself.
MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — Police have made another arrest in the fatal shooting of a cab driver in Moorhead.

The girl is being held in the West Central Juvenile Detention Center on possible charges of aiding and abetting three charges, including second-degree murder without intent. Eighteen-year-old Willie Sparkman Jr. is charged n Abdullahi’s death. A criminal complaint states investigators connected Sparkman and the 17-year-old to Abdullahi’s death via phone records.

NFL-FAVRE-REPAYMENT
Mississippi says it awaits $600K repayment from Brett Favre
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Authorities say former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has yet to pay back $600,000 in money received from the state of Mississippi for multiple speaking events he never showed up for.
The former athlete had previously said he would pay the state after an audit revealed $1.1 million had been paid to Favre’s company, Favre Enterprises. Auditors said that was just a part of $94 million in welfare spending that was “questioned” in an audit last year, meaning auditors saw clear misspending or could not verify money was lawfully spent. Favre made an initial payment of $500,000 a year ago. He has not been accused of a crime.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN-DOCTOR-SEXUAL ABUSE
Report: U. of Michigan missed chances to stop doctor’s abuse
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — A report says staff at the University of Michigan missed many opportunities to stop a doctor who committed sexual misconduct against hundreds of patients over decades at the school.
The report released Tuesday by the WilmerHale firm comes more than a year after former students publicly accused the late Robert Anderson of molesting them. The report has acknowledged Anderson’s abuse but hired the law firm for a comprehensive review. Some university officials at the time took no action despite being aware of complaints.
HORSE RACING-MEDINA SPIRIT-BAFFERT
Medina Spirit could run Preakness
BALTIMORE (AP) — Medina Spirit is set to run in the Preakness on Saturday to go for the second leg of the Triple Crown, as long as the Kentucky Derby winner passes a series of additional drug tests.
Maryland racing officials have reached an agreement with trainer Bob Baffert to allow Medina Spirit and his other horses to enter races this weekend at Pimlico Race Course subject to extra testing and monitoring.
Baffert says Medina Spirit was treated with an antifungal ointment containing the steroid betamethasone that may have caused the horse to fail a postrace drug test.
Baffert says Medina Spirit was treated with the ointment for dermatitis once a day leading up to the race and that experts have told him this could explain the test results. Baffert says the horse tested positive for 21 picograms of the substance, which would lead to a disqualification if upheld with another test.
