She said the man tied her up, stole items from the home and fled. She was able to free herself 30 minutes later and called police.

Ward County sheriff’s deputies tracked the victim’s cell phone, and McLean County deputies stopped the suspect’s vehicle in Underwood.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A judge has approved a new legal team for the death penalty appeal by a man who killed a University of North Dakota student in 2003.

Lawyers for Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. say the change is needed because of staffing and personnel changes in the federal system and the Minnesota federal public defender office.

Rodriguez, of Crookston, Minnesota, sits on death row for kidnaping and killing Dru Sjodin (shuh-DEEN’), of Pequot Lakes, Minnesota. Rodriguez filed what is considered his final appeal more than five years ago.

U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson says the Minnesota public defender office doesn’t have enough money to pay the attorneys. The case will now be handled by the Federal Community Defender Office in Pennsylvania.

Federal prosecutors argued against the change, calling it a “disguised delay tactic.”

North Dakota’s Board of Higher Education bought out Shirvani’s contract three years ago after receiving complaints from some students, faculty and school presidents about his leadership style.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) – Which candidate do you dislike the least? It’s a question American voters may have to consider as they go to the polls this November. Fifty-five percent of Americans surveyed say they have a negative opinion of Hillary Clinton. But nearly 70 percent of those in the Associated Press-GfK survey said the same about Donald Trump. Democratic strategists say Trump’s deep unpopularity is helping ease some of their concern over the negative views of Clinton.

DALLAS (AP) – Officials say Friday’s shooting at an Air Force base in Texas wasn’t an act of terrorism. They believe an airman shot his commander and then himself in a murder-suicide. The bodies were found at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Legislation being drafted in the Senate would effectively outlaw unbreakable encryption. And it would require companies to help the government access data on a computer or mobile device with a warrant. The draft is being finalized by the senior Democrat and Republican on the Intelligence Committee. They say they want to make sure government agents can obtain unscrambled information that might help an investigation. The effort follows the Justice Department’s battle with Apple over access to an encrypted and locked iPhone used by a San Bernardino, California, gunman.

BURKEVILLE, Va. (AP) – A man has been released from a Virginia prison after serving more than three decades for crimes authorities now say he didn’t commit. Keith Harward walked out of the Nottoway Correctional Center Friday after the Virginia Supreme Court agreed that DNA evidence proves he’s innocent of the 1982 killing of Jesse Perron and the rape of his wife in Newport News. Harward was a sailor on the USS Carl Vinson, which was stationed close to the victims’ home. The prosecution leaned heavily on the testimony of two experts, who said Harward’s teeth matched bite marks on the woman’s leg.
