ASHLEY, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol says 21 head of cattle have been killed when a semi-truck rolled into a ditch on Highway 11 about 15 miles east of Ashley.
The patrol says 29-year-old Matthew Anderson was heading east about 3:30 a.m. Friday when he reached to pick up a soda bottle. The semi-truck drifted off the roadway, causing the load of 90 cattle to shift to the right. The truck and trailer rolled onto its side into the ditch.
Anderson, of Alvord, Iowa, was not injured.
A veterinarian and representative from the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association responded to assist with the cattle.
Damage to the truck, trailer and load is estimated at $45,000.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot police are investigating what they say is a suspicious death.
Capt. John Klug says officers responded to the call shortly before 7:30 a.m. Friday. Authorities did not immediately release further details.
The death happened near an elementary school, prompting calls to police from concerned parents. Klug says there is no immediate threat to the safety of the students.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources says the state’s oil production dropped by about 25,000 barrels a day in September.
The agency says the state produced an average of 1.1 million barrels of oil daily in September. The September production was about 60,000 barrels per day less than the record set in December.
North Dakota also produced 1.6 million cubic feet of natural gas in September. That’s down slightly from the record set in July.
The September tally is the latest figure available because oil production numbers typically lag at least two months.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A Williston man who was facing a possible life prison sentence if convicted of rape is out of jail after being sentenced to time served on reduced charges.
32-year-old Dominic Rollice recently entered an Alford plea to two misdemeanor sexual assault charges.
He was sentenced to serve 30 days in jail and given credit for the time he’d spent behind bars since his arrest in early August. He was released last week.
Rollice initially had faced a felony gross sexual imposition charge that could have landed him in prison for life without any chance of parole.
Defense attorney Liz Pendlay called the original charge “egregious” and said “law enforcement missed the ball.”
Police Lt. Dave Peterson said the case was handled correctly.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – More legal maneuvering in a lawsuit stemming from the largest hepatitis C outbreak in recent U.S. history indicates an attempt to mediate an out-of-court resolution failed.
Attorneys for the Minot plaintiffs have asked a judge to dismiss the federal suit so it can be moved to state court. That will enable them to sue not only the ManorCare nursing home where they contracted hepatitis C but also Trinity Health, which operates the city’s lone hospital.
ManorCare and Trinity disagree over who’s to blame for the outbreak of 52 cases.
On Tuesday there was a scheduled mediation session that a plaintiff’s attorney said earlier would be an “attempt to resolve the entire case.”
The attorney declined comment on the outcome of the mediation, as did officials with ManorCare and Trinity.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says a drone strike in Syria is evidence that the U.S. is “making progress” in its campaign to target top-level Islamic State leaders. Spokesman Josh Earnest says he cannot confirm whether the strike killed the militant known as “Jihadi John.” He says the operation was “consistent” with other operations aimed at top Islamic State leaders, and that President Barack Obama did not personally sign off on it.
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is promising to release documents he says will prove his claim that China is involved in Syria’s civil war. The Obama administration and foreign policy experts maintain that there is no evidence of that. Carson says he’ll share his documentation with the White House before the weekend is over. He alleged in Tuesday’s GOP debate that Russia, China and “all kinds of factions” are involved in the Syrian war.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has told Democrats he may schedule a vote next week on a hard-line immigration bill pushed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a GOP candidate for president. The move could bring debate over immigration to the Senate floor just as it flares on the presidential campaign trail. The bill is called Kate’s Law for a woman shot in San Francisco by an immigrant illegally in the country. It would increase penalties for re-entering the country illegally.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court is taking on its first abortion case in eight years. It’s a dispute over state regulation of abortion clinics. The justices say they’ll hear arguments over a Texas law that would leave about 10 abortion clinics open across the state. A decision should come by late June, four months before the presidential election. The high court previously blocked parts of the Texas law.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – A lawyer for a Utah lesbian couple who are foster parents to a baby girl says they’re happy a judge reversed his order to remove the child from their home and place her with a heterosexual couple. Attorney Jim Hunnicutt says April Hoagland and Beckie Peirce are “excellent, wonderful parents” who love the 9-month-old girl very much. Child welfare officials say Judge Scott Johansen’s decision doesn’t rule out the possibility that he could order the child removed from the home at a Dec. 4 custody hearing.
