BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Lincoln man serving a 20-year sentence for the nonfatal stabbing of his brother’s fiancee is now accused of killing his mother in the same attack.
Thirty-six-year-old Christopher Vick is charged with felony murder for the death of 62-year-old Alice Vick, who died May 30 of a blow to the head.
Christopher Vick is also charged with terrorizing because authorities say he threatened his brother, Shawn Vick.
Christopher Vick earlier pleaded guilty to felony charges of attempted murder and felonious restraint for stabbing Erin Mees and holding her against her will.
He has not made a court appearance in the new case.
The North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says Christopher Vick is scheduled for release in June 2030.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Attorneys for the federal government are asking a judge to throw out a lawsuit by a group opposed to the current Red River diversion plan.
The Richland-Wilkin Joint Powers Authority in September filed a complaint against the nearly $2 billion project, which would move water around Fargo and require a staging area south of the metropolitan area in times of high water.
The group has said it is not trying to stop the project but wants the corps to come up with a cheaper plan that doesn’t flood farmland in Richland County in North Dakota and neighboring Wilkin County in Minnesota.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in its response filed earlier this week that other options were studied and the group has failed to make a valid claim.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Supreme Court says a 62-year-old white supremacist who tried to turn the small southwestern North Dakota town of Leith into an Aryan enclave has a right to bond.
The court filed documents Tuesday saying the district court should set a reasonable bond by Friday, even though two court judges had already decided to hold him without bond.
Craig Cobb is being held in the Stanton jail on seven charges of terrorizing residents of Leith while on an armed patrol of Cobb’s property in town.
The court said there’s no evidence in Cobb’s case to support no bond, a situation usually reserved for a capital offense.
Cobb follower Kynan Dutton was granted a $50,000 cash bond at a hearing Monday.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The 72-year-old mayor of North Dakota’s largest city says he’s running re-election.
Dennis Walaker has led the city’s effort in recent years to achieve permanent flood protection from the Red River. The city has been forced to prepare for major flooding in four of the last five years.
Walaker says there are “too many things going on right now” for him to step down as mayor. He says that includes a proposed Red River diversion channel, a new city hall and new public health office.
The former city public works director was first elected mayor in 2006.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring is asking for public comment on proposed rules on the composition of commercial fertilizers and containment of liquid fertilizers.
Goehring says the proposed rules are based on national standards established by the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials. They’re intended to assure consumers and dealers that the products they buy contain the minimum level of nutrients stated on the label.
The requirements for primary containment would cover liquid fertilizer held in undivided quantities greater than 55 gallons.
Requirements for secondary containment affect only fertilizer distributors when liquid fertilizer is held in undivided quantities greater than 2,500 gallons for longer than 30 days.
The deadline for submitting comments is Feb. 13.
A public hearing is scheduled for Feb. 3 at the State Capitol.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The year in news in North Dakota was dominated by debate over abortion restrictions in the Legislature and courts, booming oil production and an autumn pipeline rupture, but there were plenty of other topics that drew headlines around the state.
White supremacist Craig Cobb tried to take over the tiny town of Leith, and the brief and tumultuous tenure of University System Chancellor Hamid Shirvani came to a close.
The Spirit Lake Reservation saw a year of turmoil that included major crimes and political upheaval, and Congress authorized a Red River diversion channel around the Fargo area.
Union workers at American Crystal Sugar were back on the job, North Dakota State’s football coach announced he was leaving and Theodore Roosevelt’s historic North Dakota ranch dealt with oil and gravel issues.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (AP) – A man charged with fatally shooting a TSA screener and wounding three other people at Los Angeles International Airport last month has pleaded not guilty. Paul Ciancia (see-AHN’-see-uh) entered his plea today during a brief appearance before a federal magistrate at a Southern California detention center. He was indicted on first-degree murder and 10 other counts in the Nov. 1 shooting that killed Transportation Security Administration Officer Gerardo Hernandez.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – An appeals court panel in Pennsylvania is reversing the conviction of a Roman Catholic church official who was jailed for more than a year for his handling of priest sex-abuse complaints. Monsignor William Lynn was the first U.S. church official ever charged or convicted for the handling of those complaints. He’s been serving a three-to-six-year sentence for child endangerment. The appeals panel ordered him to be released. Prosecutors plan to fight the ruling.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – All counties in Utah are now offering marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Several counties had refused to do so, despite a judge’s ruling last week that struck down the state’s ban on gay marriages. But now, the county clerks say they have no choice but to go along, after an appeals court on Tuesday refused to step in and stop those marriages.
READING, Pa. (AP) – Snow is causing some travel problems on this day after Christmas. Portions of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 78 were shut down in snowy eastern Pennsylvania after chain-reaction pileups involved dozens vehicles on slippery roads. Several people were taken to hospitals, but there are no reports of any fatalities.
BEIRUT (AP) – Residents of a town held by rebels near the Syrian capital are carrying out their end of a deal, under which the government will lift a blockade and allow food to reach the residents there. In return, they’ve had to raise the flag used by the government of President Bashar Assad. The only people who’ll be allowed to remain in the town are registered residents — a condition that is likely to thin the ranks of the rebels.
