Jamestown (CSi) 21-year-old man who was found guilty of gross sexual imposition for his assault of a Jamestown woman last year plans to appeal his conviction after being sentenced to 20 years in prison on Monday in Southeast District Court in Jamestown.
Antonio Borden, of Jamestown, was found guilty after a four-day jury trial in January of gross sexual imposition, a Class AA felony, aggravated assault, a Class C felony, and menacing, a Class A misdemeanor.
Judge John Greenwood sentenced Borden to 20 years with the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation on the gross sexual imposition conviction.
He was sentenced to five years on the aggravated assault conviction and one year for the menacing conviction. Borden was ordered to pay $1,770 in fines and costs, will be placed on 10 years of supervised probation after his release from prison and must register as a sex offender for life.
He was accused on May 27, 2015, of an incident involvign a Jamestown woman who gave Borden a ride home from a bar. When they arrived, he invited her into his home. After the woman said she wanted to leave, Borden walked her to her vehicle, and court documents indicate that he physically attacked her and forced her to commit a sexual act.
Before Borden was sentenced the victim read a victim-impact statement. She said that night has impacted every aspect of her life. She said after the attack she had physical injuries, like neck and back pain, difficulty swallowing and was unable to eat solid food without pain for about a month.
She left Jamestown to live with her parents and eventually gave up her job in Jamestown because she was scared that she would be attacked again.
Borden apologized to the victim, her family and friends. Borden came to Jamestown in 2012 on a wrestling scholarship to the University of Jamestown from North Carolina. He said he left after a year at the university to pursue his dream of becoming a mixed martial artist.
Borden said he plans to appeal his conviction.
Jamestown (CSi) On Monday evening the Jamestown Tourism Board of Directors met at the 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse and were given a tour of the building by Guinn Hinman..
Hinman, is the historic sites manager for the North Dakota State Historical Society.
At the meeting discussion was held on how to explore Jamestown Tourism aiding in attracting tourists to the 1883 courthouse when restoration is completed in 2017.
Jamestown Tourism, Director Searle Swedlund said the 1883 courthouse is an exciting project for Jamestown and for Jamestown Tourism. It is a place rich with history and a space where conversations about North Dakota statehood began, he said.
Hinman added that historians like to rely on photographs of the interior to aid in restoring chandeliers, wallpaper and items, she said. There are no such photos for the 1883 courthouse, and the search is continuing.
Restoration so far has included restoring pressed tin walls and tile work. Decades of lead-based paint had to be removed safely to restore the original doors and windows.
The first floor is complete with new restrooms, and a room dedicated to the late historian Mary Faith Young will be ready to view by the first public open house on May 14th, 2016, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Jamestown (CSi-NDFU) Governor Jack Dalrymple has proclaimed May 1-7, 2016, as Farmers Union Youth Week, citing North Dakota Farmers Union’s dedication to enhancing leadership abilities in young people and skilled leaders for North Dakota.
The proclamation reads: “The youth of our state are North Dakota’s most valuable resource in strengthening communities and organizations.
Educating young people about the cooperative business model in present-day commerce is vital to North Dakota’s economic health.”
As the state’s largest general farm organization, North Dakota Farmers Union conducts county-sponsored classes on educational topics and summer camps for rural and urban kids.
More than 1,000 youth attend Farmers Union camps annually, which get underway June 13. Four and five-day camps are offered for youth in grades 3-12. Each camp features traditional activities like swimming, campfires, theme nights and sports, while teaching an interactive curriculum that builds teamwork and leadership skills. Attendees also learn about cooperative businesses, and organize their own camp canteen as a co-op.
For more information on Farmers Union’s youth program or to register for summer camp, go to www.ndfu.org.
Jamestown (CSi-JRMC) Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) joins the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science in celebrating Medical Laboratory Professionals week April 25th– 30th.
The clinical laboratory professional is a key member of today’s health care team. Laboratory professionals have the skills to unlock important medical information that is pivotal to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.
Every day, nurses, physicians and other healthcare workers depend on laboratory professionals to perform tests on blood and other body fluids, interpret the results, and help provide a complete picture of a patient’s health.
Using modern biomedical equipment and complicated analysis, laboratorians can detect the presence of cancer, identify infectious viruses and bacteria and measure glucose, cholesterol, or drug levels in blood. Without this precise and valuable information, medicine would simply become guesswork.
Laboratory professionals often work in hospitals, physician offices, or private clinical laboratories, performing laboratory tests and monitoring the quality of their results. Others are employed by university or industrial research laboratories to seek solutions for medicine’s many unanswered questions. And these professionals are increasingly found outside the traditional laboratory, participating in community health activities, conducting environmental testing or serving in the Peace Corps.
Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (MLPW) began in 1975 under the auspices of the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (then the American Society for Medical Technology). JRMC wants to take this opportunity to thank the team of lab professionals at JRMC – you are THE difference. JRMC offers thanks and congratulations to all Medical Laboratory Professionals and appreciates their contributions to the health of the communities in which they serve.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Bond has been set at $1.5 million for a man accused of beating a woman and shooting at her inside his Williston home.
Thirty-two-year-old Casey Gunlikson faces six felony charges and two misdemeanors in the incident earlier this month. He could face more than 30 years in prison if convicted.
Court documents don’t list an attorney for him, and a home telephone listing couldn’t be found. He could enter a plea at a June 9 hearing.
Gunlikson is accused of assaulting the woman, threatening her, firing a rifle and a pistol at her and preventing her from calling for help.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man who held up a Fargo liquor store at a time when the city saw an unusually high number of armed robberies has been sentenced to 9 1/2 years in prison.
Carlos Bethel pleaded guilty in January to two counts, including use of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. It was one of seven armed robberies in Fargo in September.
Authorities say Bethel and Andrew Ford took turns robbing two liquor stores within an hour of each other on Sept. 28. The men acted as getaway drivers for each other. Ford was sentenced earlier to 8 1/2 years in prison.
The rash of holdups convinced federal prosecutors to take on several of the cases. Sentences can be more severe in federal court than in state court.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A Grand Forks man accused of leading a large drug trafficking operation has been sentenced to life in prison.
A federal jury in May found 38-year-old Jose Delacruz guilty on two counts, including conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Authorities say Delacruz distributed large amounts of meth in the Grand Forks area. The charge carried a mandatory life sentence because Delacruz had two prior drug convictions.
Four other defendants accused in the case have received prison sentences ranging between 2 1/2 and 10 years.
Delacruz also was convicted for pistol-whipping a fellow drug dealer in Grand Forks whom Delacruz accused of cooperating with law enforcement.
U.S. Attorney Chris Myers says local and federal authorities worked together to dismantle the drug ring and “stop the violent conduct” by Delacruz.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture says many North Dakota farmers received much-needed rainfall over the past week, but the moisture stalled some late-week planting progress.
The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service says although the northern tier of counties reported little to no rain, the remainder of the state received one to two inches.
Topsoil moisture supplies are rated 2 percent very short, 10 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Durum wheat is 6 percent planted, and 26 percent of the spring wheat crop is in the ground. Barley planted is 19 percent, oats planted is 28 percent and corn planted is 6 percent.
Cattle and calf conditions are rated mostly fair to excellent, and calving is about 71 percent complete.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota legislative committee is working to ensure more oversight of so-called angel funds.
The Legislature’s interim Political Subdivision Taxation Committee on Tuesday is slated to introduce a draft measure to better scrutinize the funds designed to provide investment dollars for fledgling companies through tax credits.
Committee chairman and Bismarck Republican Rep. Jason Dockter says the program currently lacks accountability to ensure it is creating businesses and jobs in North Dakota.
The incentive allows angel fund investors to claim an income tax credit equal to 45 percent of their investment, or up to $45,000 a year and $500,000 over a lifetime.
The state Commerce Department says investors have claimed more than $16 million in tax credits since the program was started a decade ago.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Major League Baseball umpire Gary Cederstrom has been named grand marshal for this year’s North Dakota State Parade.
The July 23 parade in Minot will help kick off the 51st State Fair. The theme for the 35th annual parade is “North Dakota -Where Sports Shine.”
Cederstrom was born in Bismarck and graduated from Minot High School in 1973 and from Minot State University in 1979.
He’s spent nearly four decades umpiring professional baseball and is currently an MLB crew chief. He’s umpired in three World Series – including being crew chief for the 2015 World Series – and he was the crew chief for the 2014 All Star Game in Minneapolis.
Cederstrom maintains a home in Minot and returns to North Dakota to hunt and fish in the offseason.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The mule deer population in the western North Dakota Badlands has doubled since a low four years ago, possibly setting the stage for doe hunting for the first time in five years.
The state Game and Fish Department says its annual spring mule deer survey this month indicated a 21 percent increase in mule deer from last year.
Big Game Supervisor Bruce Stillings cites higher adult doe survival, three straight years of good fawn production and a mild winter.
Hunting of mule deer does was banned last year for the fourth straight season to help the population recover. State Wildlife Chief Jeb Williams has told The Associated Press that the restriction might be lifted this year if the mule deer population is doing well.
