BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The state medical examiner has concluded that former North Dakota State University football player Tyler Jangula died from accidental drug poisoning.
The autopsy report on Jangula says he “ingested lethal quantity and combination of prescription-type drugs.” His death has officially been ruled accidental.
Jangula died Feb. 1 in his Williston home, after undergoing a surgery on his Achilles tendon just a few days earlier. He was 28.
Jangula was a standout athlete in multiple sports at Williston High School and a fullback for the Bison from 2005 to 2008.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A third person is facing federal charges in connection with several overdose cases in the Grand Forks area that involved the powerful synthetic drug powdered fentanyl.
Twenty-year-old Joshua Fulp pleaded not guilty Thursday to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances resulting in serious bodily injury and death.
Kain Schwandt and David Noye Jr. are facing the same charge in the case. Authorities say two people died from drug overdoses and three others became seriously ill.
Fulp made his first appearance Thursday in Fargo, dressed in orange prison clothing. He was ordered to return to a Minneapolis substance abuse treatment center. Trial is set for April 28.
A federal public defender could not immediately be reached for comment.
A detention hearing was scheduled later Thursday for Noye.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple has appointed Hazen School Superintendent Mike Ness to a vacant seat on the state Board of Higher Education.
Ness was among three finalists chosen by a nominating committee. Pending state Senate approval, he’ll replace departed board Chairwoman Kirsten Diederich and serve the remainder of her term, which expires June 30, 2018.
Dalrymple says Ness has 42 years in public education in the state and has the knowledge and leadership skills necessary for the board that oversees the state’s 11 public colleges and universities. Dalrymple also says Ness is a consensus builder.
Ness is retiring as Hazen superintendent at the end of the school year.
The other finalists for the board seat were retired University of North Dakota administrator Alice Hoffert and Belfield rancher and businessman James Odermann.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s House has endorsed a change to a formula used to distribute oil and gas production tax revenue.
The fund currently sets aside 75 percent to the state and 25 percent to local governments. The House voted 70 -18 Thursday to amend the formula to give 70 percent to the state and 30 percent to communities affected by rapid growth.
Community leaders in western North Dakota’s oil-producing counties and Gov. Jack Dalrymple had pushed a 60-40 split in favor of local governments. But slumping oil prices have forced lawmakers to contemplate a more than $4 billion estimated shortfall in oil and gas tax revenue compared to a December forecast used by Dalrymple to craft his executive budget.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Legislature has finished work on more than 900 bills and resolutions and lawmakers are taking a midsession break.
Only a handful of bills remained in each chamber on Thursday and lawmakers finished work on them in the morning.
After a break, House members will begin working Wednesday on Senate bills, and vice versa.
Lawmakers call the change “crossover.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators have forgiven Hess Corp. for failing to meet state-set natural gas flaring goals.
Hess shut down a compressor station for 10 days late last year due to equipment issues, and company officials said that caused an increase in the amount of natural gas that was burned off and wasted.
The Industrial Commission Wednesday granted a request by Hess to forgive potential fines of $12,500 per day, though Gov. Jack Dalrymple raised concerns about setting a bad precedent.
Commissioner Doug Goehring said the request by Hess was reasonable given the company quickly notified the state of its problem.
State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms said, “you have to be careful about penalizing people for doing the right thing but having bad things happen to them.”
In world and national news…
NEW YORK (AP) – A man who’s been described as one of al-Qaida’s early leaders has been convicted of conspiracy in the deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. A New York federal jury returned the verdict Thursday in the case against Khaled al-Fawwaz (kah-LEED’ al-fah-WAHZ’). The month-long trial delved into al-Qaida’s early days. Prosecutors portrayed the Saudi Arabian as a close confidant of Osama bin Laden. Defense lawyers said he was a peace-minded dissident who was dismayed by bin Laden’s turn toward violence.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – There’s a guilty plea Thursday from a Minnesota teenager who was stopped at the airport as he was trying to travel to Syria. Abdullahi Mohamud Yusuf, who’s 18, pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He admitted that he intended to go to Syria to join the Islamic State group. Authorities say a handful of Minnesota residents have done so in the last year.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Officials say House Republicans are considering passage of a stand-alone, short-term funding measure to prevent a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security at week’s end. They say the plan at the same time envisions pressing ahead with an attempt to overturn President Barack Obama’s immigration policy. The House leadership has called a late-afternoon meeting of the GOP rank and file. It’s been divided over the handling of the latest standoff with the White House and congressional Democrats.
OXON HILL, Md. (AP) – Potential Republican presidential candidates are trying to establish their conservative credentials at a conference under way near Washington. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas told the Conservative Political Action Conference that voters need to demand that presidential hopefuls prove they are conservative. Earlier Thursday, former technology executive Carly Fiorina — the only woman who’s known to be considering a Republican presidential bid — called on Hillary Rodham Clinton to name a single accomplishment from her time as secretary of state.
CARY, N.C. (AP) – Across the Carolinas, people are digging out from a wintry mix of snow and ice that created treacherous roads and left tens of thousands without power. To the south, forecasters in Georgia are warning of slick roads and highways in the northern part of the state, as melting snow re-freezes. Forecasters say any water that doesn’t dry up Thursday will re-freeze as temperatures dip below freezing across much of the region.
