 OAKES, N.D. (AP) — The longtime high school principal and activities director in Oakes has resigned nearly a week after an internal investigation began.

Jamestown (CSi) — Two men were arrested in connection with an incident that occurred early Saturday (Nov 23, 2013) morning, where a homeowner reported blood on the window of a garage door, which was opened.

Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson says officers were dispatched by Barnes County Dispatch at 3:43 a.m. to 530 6th Ave. Northwest.

Subsequent to the investigation it was determined that an individual entered the garage and entered a vehicle inside.

The officers were able to track the unknown individual to a house at 546 6th Street Northwest, by following footprints in the snow.

The investigation included physical evidence at the scene, and talking with four Valley City men at the house, which led police to believe that an altercation had occurred between the men.

Further investigations at the house led to two arrests.

20 year old Ring Akol, was arrested for minor in possession, consumption of alcohol.

22 year old Shol Gout, was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Chief Thompson says as the investigation continues, anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Valley City Police at 701-845-3110.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo police are searching for a man accused in an armed robbery at a south side convenience store.
 
     The incident happened at about 4 a.m. Thursday at a Stop-N-Go store on University Avenue and 27th Avenue South.
 
     Police say a masked man entered the store and threatened the clerk with a handgun. The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
 
     A police dog was brought in to search for the man, but lost his track a short distance from the store.
 
     No injuries were reported.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – One of two men whose murder conspiracy conviction was overturned by the North Dakota Supreme Court is headed to trial again.
 
     A pre-trial conference is scheduled for Dec. 26 for Cody Borner, of Stanton.
 
     He pleaded not guilty this week to new charges of terrorizing, aggravated assault and five counts of reckless endangerment.
 
     Richard Whitman earlier pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
 
     A jury in June 2012 convicted them of conspiracy to commit murder in the January 2012 shooting death in Beulah of Mike Padilla, of Billings, Mont. Padilla’s brother, Timothy, was wounded in the shooting that authorities say resulted from a drug-fueled dispute.
 
     The Supreme Court overturned the convictions because of improper charging documents but said the men could be charged again.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man has been sentenced to seven years in prison on illegal weapons charges.
 
     James Siegrist, of Mandan, was charged in federal court with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of firearms and ammunition by a convicted felon.
 
     A jury convicted Siegrist of the charges on Aug. 28.
 
     Authorities say Siegrist was handling a .45 caliber weapon in July 2012 when it discharged and struck a woman in the leg. He was arrested in March 2013 for possession of three handguns and 94 rounds of ammunition. Two of the handguns were concealed on his body and one was located inside his vehicle.
 
     Siegrist was prohibited from possessing either a firearm or ammunition by virtue of multiple felony convictions.

 

 RHAME, N.D. (AP) – Cellphone customers in far southwest North Dakota could have better cellphone coverage sometime next year.
 
     Rhame city auditor Margie Russ says  a communications company under contract by AT&T plans an environmental site assessment near the town’s water tower.
 
     She says a new cell tower there would greatly improve phone service in Rhame, which has little to no reception.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota couple is asking a livestock council to change the rules on regulating a certain breed of sheep.
 
   Autumn and Travis Bennett recently bought six painted desert sheep from Montana because they liked the colors and wanted animals with horns that didn’t need shearing.
 
     The Bennetts later discovered that North Dakota regulations do not allow the sheep to be turned out to pasture over fears they could escape captivity and interbreed or spread disease among the wild bighorn sheep population.
 
     The couple says it’s forcing them to pay more for feed and supplements.
 
     In other states, painted desert sheep are considered domestic animals rather than wildlife. The Bennetts say that should be the case in North Dakota as well.

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A housing study for a city in the North Dakota oil patch is recommending construction of more than 900 affordable housing units in the next decade.
 
     Minot city officials had asked for the study because of complaints by employers and employees about the lack of affordable housing.
 
     The  study proposes 300 new homes ranging from $155,000 to $200,000; 450 units of rental housing; and 180 units of housing for seniors and disabled residents.
 
     It also recommends the city form a Minot housing partnership to pursue affordable housing and create an employer-assisted work force housing program.
 
     The 124-page report will be presented to the Minot city council on Monday.

 

GARRISON, N.D. (AP) – Residents of Garrison are gearing up to go 200 years back in time.
 
     The city’s annual holiday Dickens Village Festival gets underway Friday and runs for three consecutive weekends.
 
     The event is inspired by Charles Dickens’ story “A Christmas Carol.” It started with a plan to stage a play in 1994 and evolved into the festival that turns the town of about 1,300 people into a Victorian English village from Dickens’ era.
 
     Garrison dubs itself the “official Christmas capital of North Dakota.” This is the 20th year for the holiday festival.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Two Fargo men who have spent the last decade documenting North Dakota ghost towns are seeing some of those communities coming back to life in the oil patch.
 
     Troy Larson and Terry Hinnenkamp recently completed the second edition of “Ghosts of North Dakota,” a coffee table book of photographs that depict the remains of pioneer towns throughout the state.
 
     Larson says he was shocked to find that some of the towns featured in the first book now have people living in them because of the oil boom.
 
     One of the images the pair had hoped to capture for the second volume was an abandoned church in Fortuna. But a recreational vehicle and semi-trailer parked in front of the building ruled out the photo shoot.
 
     The books are available at www.ghostsofnorthdakota.com.

NBA.

 NEW YORK (AP) – The NBA has fined Brooklyn Nets coach Jason Kidd $50,00 for intentionally spilling his drink on the court as an unusual stall tactic. Kidd bumped into Brooklyn reserve Tyshawn Taylor with 8.3 seconds left in Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers, causing his drink to spill. A video of the fumble showed Kidd appearing to tell Taylor to “hit me” as the guard walked toward the bench, creating a delay that allowed the Nets to diagram a play after they had run out of timeouts.
