JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) – A 43-year-old Minnesota man is hospitalized in North Dakota after being shot by law officers in Jamestown.
Authorities say the man fled from an officer who responded to a report of a drunk person at a convenience store shortly after midnight Monday, and rammed two law enforcement vehicles during the ensuing chase.
The police department says officers with the department and the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office eventually shot the man to protect an officer who had approached the man’s vehicle and was in danger of being run over.
Authorities did not immediately identify the man from Tracy, Minnesota, or give details on his condition.
A Jamestown officer and a sheriff’s deputy have been put on leave while the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation looks into the incident. That’s standard procedure.

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – A federal prisoner who escaped from the jail in Devils Lake over the weekend had access to unsecured areas of the facility.
Ramsey County Sheriff Steve Nelson says 35-year-old Wesley Brown III was working as a custodian at the Lake Region Law Enforcement Center when he escaped early Saturday.
Brown was in federal custody awaiting sentencing after he pleaded guilty last May to charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and escape. He escaped from a jail in Rugby in June 2013 but was captured within hours.
Authorities believe Brown has fled the Devils Lake region. He is believed to be traveling in a vehicle registered to a corrections officer at the jail, and investigators are trying to determine if the two had a relationship.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Grand Forks man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he neglected a child and attempted to disarm a police officer in Bismarck.
Eric Knight is accused of trying to take the gun of an officer who helped conduct a welfare check on a 2-year-old child at a Bismarck hotel on Feb. 8.
Defense attorney Jeff Bredahl maintains that officers entered the hotel room without a warrant, and he questions the necessity of the encounter.
Bredahl is scheduled for trial in late June on felony charges of child neglect, preventing arrest and attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer.

In world and national news…
NEW YORK (AP) – Federal prosecutors say a U.S. Air Force veteran has been arrested on terrorism charges in a plot to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group. A grand jury indicted Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh (pyoo), of Neptune, New Jersey, on charges of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist group and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors say the 47-year-old tried to travel from Egypt to Turkey to ultimately cross the border into Syria. He had been fired from his most recent job as an airplane mechanic based in the Middle East.
JERUSALEM (AP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a last-ditch appeal for votes before polling stations close in a tight election. In a videotaped statement at his office, Netanyahu urges his supporters to get out and vote. He says the gaps between his hawkish Likud (lee-KOOD’) party and the center-left opposition need to be narrowed. Recent opinion polls give the center-left Zionist Union a narrow lead.
PARIS (AP) – French experts have ruled out the theory that radioactive polonium poisoning caused the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in 2004. A prosecutor says there were no traces of polonium 210 in Arafat’s urine during his stay at a French military hospital prior to his death, and that any traces of the substance recorded after his exhumation were “of an environmental origin” in the tomb. Palestinians had long suspected Israel of poisoning him, which Israel denies.
NEW YORK (AP) – Health officials say four more medical aid workers have arrived back in the United States from West Africa to be monitored for Ebola. Tuesday’s arrivals bring to 16 the number of aid workers who have returned in the last week from Sierra Leone. None of them have been diagnosed with the disease. All came in contact with a colleague who came down with Ebola last week while working in Africa for Partners in Health, a Boston-based international aid organization. He is in critical condition at a National Institutes of Health hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
WASHINGTON (AP) – So far there are no reports of damage from a surprisingly strong solar storm that’s smacking the Earth. But federal forecasters say there could be some temporary disruptions to power grids and GPS tracking. The Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, says two blasts of magnetic plasma left the sun on Sunday, combined and arrived on Earth Tuesday much earlier and stronger than expected.
