Valley City, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Oct 30, 2013) — Valley City Police reports that arrest warrants have been issued in connection with recent church burglaries in Valley City.
Warrants for 25 year old Andrew M. Miklas, of Valley City, and 18 year old Nicole Lindermann, of Kathryn, include charges in connection with the burglary of Faith Lutheran Church, in Valley City.
That, according to a Valley City Police Department in a news release Wednesday.
Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson said, “It was determined that Lindermann waited outside the church in a vehicle while Miklas was inside the church committing the burglary.” The church burglaries are still under investigation and additional arrests are expected.
Miklas’ warrant lists the charges of burglary, a felony, and theft of property, a misdemeanor.
Lindermannn was identified as an accomplice, and her warrant includes a charge for conspiracy to commit burglary, a felony.
During the weekend of Sept. 28 and 29, 2013, multiple churches were burglarized, including Trinity Lutheran Church, Our Savior’s Lutheran Church and the Congregational United Church of Christ. Also that weekend, the Valley City Public Library was also burglarized.
Thompson says in some incidents, the suspects entered through unsecured doors, while in other cases they had forced their way in.
He says, it’s believed that all of the burglaries could be the work of the same suspect or suspects, because of similarities observed at the scenes.
At this time, Miklas and Lindermann are only allegedly connected to the Faith Lutheran burglary.
Valley City Police, and state and federal authorities are still investigating whether the burglary is connected to the October 21, 2013 fire, at Faith Lutheran Church in Valley City, authorities say was deliberately set and caused more than $1 million in damage.
Anyone with information on the burglaries, or the church arson, is asked to contact Valley City police at 701-845-3110.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A magistrate judge has thrown out a complaint by a North Dakota man convicted of killing two children on the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation.
Valentino “Tino” Bagola filed court documents earlier this month claiming that his lawyer did a poor job of representing him and should have asked for an evaluation to determine whether he was competent to stand trial and assist in his own defense.
Bagola was convicted in September of two counts of felony murder for the May 2011 slayings of 9-year-old Destiny Jane Shaw-Dubois and her 6-year-old brother, Travis Lee DuBois Jr.

They were arrested in January at a Casselton motel.
The appeal is based on two opinions by East Central District Judge Wickham Corwin, including one memorandum that said the jury could not be told that the marijuana prescription was a valid defense.
Kuruc’s attorney, Mark Friese (FREEZ), says his client hopes the appeal will result in “straightforward application of the law to the facts of his case.”
