DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – A man accused of negligent homicide in a hit-and-run death in Dickinson late last year now faces an additional charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving a death.
Both charges against Timothy Menges are felonies. The new charge filed earlier this month means he could face up to 15 years in prison rather than just five years if convicted.
Menges allegedly was driving drunk last November when he struck and killed 47-year-old Tracy Freer in a motel parking lot. Authorities say Menges struck Freer after Freer accosted him for almost running over his dog.
Menges’ attorney has said the death is unfortunate but doesn’t rise to the level of negligence.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple has appointed Norman Anderson to a newly created judgeship in the East Central Judicial District, which serves Cass, Steele and Traill counties.
Dalrymple says Anderson served as an assistant U.S. Attorney in North Dakota for 25 years and tried more than 100 cases before retiring in 2007.
Earlier this month, Dalrymple appointed Robin Schmidt and Paul Jacobson to fill two newly created district court judge positions in North Dakota’s Northwest Judicial District.
The Legislature approved the new judgeships earlier this year to help keep up with a growing caseload spurred by North Dakota’s booming oil patch and growing population.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A city in the middle of the North Dakota oil patch is advertising for more teachers, although school district officials aren’t sure if they’ll need them.
The Williston Public School District plans to post openings for four teachers at McVay Elementary School, one each for grades kindergarten through third.
The city is preparing for an increase of 157 students at the elementary schools, but the final number is hard to predict.
The district expects an increase of 228 students in all grades.

She supports an investigation into whether her son’s killer could be charged under federal civil rights laws.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – An Ohio firearms group has raised more than $12,000 to be spent on guns or a security system for George Zimmerman. But the money could end up being used instead to pay for Zimmerman’s defense costs and fees. The check that the group wrote to Zimmerman is the result of the fundraising effort that was launched because the group believes his gun rights are being violated by the U.S. Department of Justice. The department has taken all of the evidence from Zimmerman’s trial, including the gun that killed Trayvon Martin, as part of a civil rights investigation.
