FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Trial is set to begin for two North Dakota brothers accused of intentionally destroying potatoes and defrauding the federal government out of about $2 million in crop insurance payments.
Aaron and Derek Johnson, of the Cooperstown area, are charged with conspiring to receive illegal payments by intentionally damaging the spuds. They have pleaded not guilty.
The Johnsons are accused of applying chemicals to the potatoes and using portable heaters in the warehouse in order to accelerate deterioration. The government says once the potatoes rotted, the men reported the loss to their insurance company and said the crop was lost due to naturally caused diseases.
A defense attorney says the brothers may be guilty of bad farming practices, but that is not illegal.
Jury selection is scheduled Monday in Fargo.
SAWYER, N.D. (AP) – Authorities say a teenager has died in a snowmobile accident at his home near Minot.
Ward County Sheriff’s Capt. Bob Barnard said the 16-year-old boy died Friday night in Sawyer. He says the teen was test-driving the snowmobile around his home while working on the machine with his dad when he hit a tree.
Barnard says the man discovered his son after hearing a noise from the crash. A helicopter transported the teen to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Barnard says the boy wasn’t wearing a helmet. Authorities haven’t released his name.

Authorities say Parker was a passenger in a pickup truck that went off the road on Highway 200. The pickup driver over-corrected the vehicle and went into the semitrailer’s path. The semitrailer’s driver tried to slow down, but hit the rear passenger side of the pickup. Both vehicles went off the road.
The pickup driver and another passenger were taken to a local hospital. Their conditions are unclear. The semitrailer driver and his passenger weren’t injured.
Authorities are investigating. No arrests have been reported.

Police say they identified the suspects using surveillance footage. They say they pulled over the pair Friday and found some of the stolen merchandise in their car.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Nebraska needs a new football coach after firing Bo Pelini. He won at least nine games in each of his seven seasons with the Huskers and was 66-27 with three conference title game appearances in the Big 12 and Big 10. But Pelini never won a conference championship, and his teams lost four games in every season he completed.

Alabama is No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll for the first time this season, replacing undefeated Florida State in a vote that was about as close as it could get.
The Crimson Tide (11-1) received 25 of a possible 59 first-place votes from the media panel and 1,426 points. The Seminoles (12-0) have 29 first-place votes and 1,423 points.
The last time the No. 2 team had more first-place votes than the No. 1 team this late in the season was Nov. 25, 1968, when No. 1 Ohio State had 21 1/2 first-places votes to Southern California’s 24 1/2.
Alabama is No. 1 for the 72nd time overall and first since it lost last year’s Iron Bowl. The Tide beat Auburn 55-44 on Saturday.
It is also the seventh straight season the Crimson Tide has been No. 1 at some point, the longest such streak since Miami from 1986-92.
Florida State is the first team to lose the No. 1 ranking twice in a season since Penn State in 1997.
The last time a No. 1 team had a loss and No. 2 was undefeated this late in the season was Nov. 27, 1993, when Florida State (11-1) held the top spot and Nebraska (11-0) was No. 2.
Those Seminoles, who lost to Notre Dame a few weeks prior, went on to beat Nebraska in the Orange Bowl and win the national title.
No. 3 Oregon received five first-place votes in the latest poll. TCU jumped two spot to No. 4. Baylor slipped one to No. 5 and Ohio State moved up one to No. 6. No. 7 is Michigan State, followed by Arizona and Kansas State. Mississippi State fell six places to No. 10 after losing to Mississippi.
Alabama is the third team to hold the No. 1 ranking this season following Florida State, which was preseason No. 1, and Mississippi State, which held the top spot for five weeks.
The Tide and Seminoles played conference championship games on Saturday and both, along with Oregon, seem to have a clear path to the College Football Playoff if they win.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court hears arguments today in the case of a Pennsylvania man who claims he was just venting when he posted graphically violent rap lyrics on Facebook threatening his estranged wife and others.
