New Rockford (CSi) 51 year-old David Troske of New Rockford has been charged, after killing a man and injuring a woman at a wedding reception this past weekend.

Troske has been charged with Murder, Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, Reckless Endangerment and bringing a gun into a bar after allegedly shooting and killing 41 year-old Donnie Perleberg of Pingree. The complaint says Perleberg was shot in the head and neck. Troske’s ex-girlfriend, Mary Seiler, was shot in the neck and torso. She remains Tuesday in a medically-induced coma in Bismarck and is expected to recover.

A 22-Caliber revolver owned by Troske was recovered at the scene.

Troske is being held on $2 million bail.

Troske remains in custody at the Ramsey County Jail in Devils Lake.

Troske could make his first appearances on September 10, 2015 in Eddy County.

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown’s Mayor Katie Andersen has proclaimed September 29, 2015 as a ‘Day Without Violence’ for the community of Jamestown.

According to the proclamation, the city of Jamestown doesn’t have a day to commemorate and encourage non-violence whereas other cities have already established days and weeks for non-violence. ‘Day Without Violence’ is established to have each state proclaim a statewide day without violence on or around September 30th and a Nationwide day on October 1st.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Attorneys for a man sentenced to death for the 2003 killing of a University of North Dakota student are questioning witnesses about allegations of juror misconduct.

     A jury in 2006 convicted Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. of kidnapping and killing Dru Sjodin (shuh-DEEN’), of Pequot Lakes, Minnesota. It has been nearly four years since Rodriguez’s attorneys filed the federal habeas corpus motion, considered the last step in the appeals process.

     Rodriguez’s attorneys have filed court documents outlining the alleged wrongdoing, but those papers are sealed from public view. One juror was questioned Tuesday morning about being a victim of domestic abuse.

     The hearing started nearly two hours late while technicians figured out how to hook up Rodriguez and one of his lawyers via video from a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A professor at the University of North Dakota has been arrested on campus on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

     The University of North Dakota Police Department says driver Frank Cuozzo was pulled over on campus Tuesday morning for an expired registration on a car. The UND police officer then detected the odor of alcohol and arrested Cuozzo after conducting a field sobriety test.

     The police department says Cuozzo was also arrested for driving under revocation. He was booked into the Grand Forks County Correctional Center.

     Court records show Cuozzo pleaded guilty in 2011 to one count of reckless driving and was sentenced to one year of probation.

     Cuozzo is part of UND’s anthropology department. It is unclear whether he has legal representation.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Federal data show more than 16,600 North Dakotans have signed up and paid for health insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

     The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Tuesday that 85 percent of those, or more than 14,000 people, were receiving tax subsidies to help with the cost.

     The subsidies in North Dakota average $231 a month. The national average is $270 a month.

     The report was the first update since June on how the Affordable Care Act’s insurance markets are performing in all 50 states.

     Nationally, about 9.9 million people enrolled, with about 84 percent receiving tax subsidies to help cover the cost.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A brand new airport terminal for the city of Minot is scheduled to open in late February 2016.

      Crews broke ground on the $94 million construction project in the fall of 2013. The new terminal will be the largest in the state of North Dakota.

     The upgrades are in response to the tripling of passenger activity from 2009 to 2012.

     Airport Director Andy Solsvig says the years-long construction project has been a hassle for passengers, but he thinks members of the Minot community and those traveling in from across the region will be pleased with the new terminal. He says it’s beautiful and will have plenty of adequate parking.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The Fargo Human Relations Commission is seeking nominees for awards recognizing residents or businesses for their contributions to human relations within the city.

The commission in particular wants to recognize those who promote respect and acceptance for diversity and help eliminate discrimination. Any Fargo youth or adult or any business or organization that has made a contribution is eligible. The deadline for returning nomination forms is Oct. 2.

Those selected for awards will be recognized at the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration at the Fargo Theatre on Jan. 18.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The United Tribes International Powwow gets underway this week in Bismarck.

     The annual powwow at United Tribes Technical College draws hundreds of dancers from around the country.

     The powwow that runs Thursday through Sunday is in its 46th year. It’s considered one of North Dakota’s premier cultural events, attracting thousands of people every year.

     Miss Indian Nations also is crowned during the event.

CROSSROADS, N.M. (AP) – The U.S. oil and gas production boom of the past decade has an unwanted side effect: Millions of gallons of briny wastewater have spilled onto land and flowed into waterways, often doing severe damage.

     An Associated Press analysis of state and federal record finds nearly 22,000 spills of oilfield wastewater between 2009 and 2014. They add up to more than 180 million gallons. And officials acknowledge many releases are never reported.

     The spills happen primarily because of human error and equipment failures such as ruptured pipelines, overflowing tanks or illegal dumping.

     Experts say wastewater spills can be more environmentally harmful than oil spills. The salty byproduct turn can land into barren moonscapes where plants can’t grow.

     Oil industry officials say they’re trying to reduce the number of spills.

In world and national news…

GRAYSON, Ky. (AP) – The Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses because of her religious beliefs against same-sex marriage has been released from jail. Kim Davis had been behind bars since Thursday on a contempt of court charge. She emerged this afternoon to hundreds of supporters outside the jail. They sang “Amazing Grace” and “God Bless America.” The same federal judge who had ordered her to jail granted her release today and warned her not to interfere as deputy clerks in her office issue the licenses. But her lawyer is refusing to say whether or not Davis will interfere.

     VATICAN CITY (AP) – There’s been a dramatic change in the process for annulling marriages in the Catholic Church. Pope Francis is allowing a new fast-track procedure — handled by the local bishop — that can be used when both spouses request an annulment or don’t oppose it. And he’s removing the automatic appeal that had gone into effect after the annulment decision was made, even if neither spouse wanted it. Francis says the changes aren’t meant to help end marriages — but instead are meant to speed up and simplify the process so that the faithful can find justice.

     ROSZKE, Hungary (AP) – Authorities in Hungary are trying to defuse tensions at the country’s southern border with Serbia, by sending buses to take migrants and refugees to a nearby registration center. But there are many more on the way. A steady stream of people has been seen trying to approach Hungary for entry into the European Union. Earlier Tuesday, refugees who were frustrated at being trapped behind a police line began pushing, and police shoved back. One man was hurt in a stampede.

     FOX LAKE, Ill. (AP) – Investigators say three men who were seen in a video from a home near where a northern Illinois police officer was fatally shot were not involved in the slaying. The announcement by the leader of the task force investigating last week’s killing of Fox Lake Police Lieutenant Charles Gliniewicz (GLIHN’-uh-wihts) puts to rest what authorities said was a promising lead into the identities of the suspects. He says investigators questioned the three men in the video and are confident they were not involved in the slaying.

     MARBLE FALLS, Texas (AP) – Police near San Antonio, Texas, say it will take at least a week to finish the investigation of two high school football players accused of ramming into a referee during a game. A police sergeant in Marble Falls says prosecutors have indicated they would be receptive to filing charges if that is what the investigation indicates. He says the charges could be for misdemeanor assault.
