Valley City (CSi-Valley News Live) The Valley City Police Department has completed an internal investigation on one of its officers, and says he did nothing wrong.<\/p>\n

Valley News Live reports, the investigation started in May 2016 after the department received a complaint from a citizen about Lt. David Swenson. The citizen accused Lt. Swenson of “drawing hourly wages from three separate revenue streams for the same hours. Which is a Class B Felony.”<\/p>\n

The citizen agreed to talk with the police chief about the allegations and an investigation was started.<\/p>\n

An Internal Administrative Investigation was initiated by Police Chief Fred Thompson. Payroll records, time sheets, work schedules and other documentation were obtained. A total of eight witnesses, who may have had information about the allegations, were interviewed.<\/p>\n

Throughout the investigation, the citizen who filed the complaint became uncooperative, and at one point said he could continue this “in the court of public opinion.”<\/p>\n

Even though the complainant wouldn\u2019t cooperate, the police department continued the internal investigation. The result of the investigation is that Lt. Swenson did not commit a crime, nor did he engage in any impropriety in his work.<\/p>\n

The station reported that the report says the same citizen ended up filing another complaint against Lt. Swenson with the Barnes County Sheriff\u2019s Office on June 1. The Barnes County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office says “even though the amount of hours was excessive, nothing irregular was uncovered during the investigation.”<\/p>\n

The following was sent by Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson:<\/p>\n

“The public is advised that a police department is only as good as the integrity that it presents to the public it serves. The Valley City Police Department is determined to ensure that the public can have trust and faith in what we do. As the Chief of Police I will promise you that we will, and have, investigated any legitimate complaint that is forwarded to me.”<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A farm aid nonprofit in the Northern Plains is expanding its services again this year, with an eye toward spreading geographically in a year or two.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota-based Farm Rescue does physical labor for farmers in need in both Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Montana. It started out planting crops, then expanded to harvesting crops, and then into haying.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The organization this year also is offering hay bale-hauling and grain-hauling services.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Founder Bill Gross says Farm Rescue needs to boost its annual budget from about $750,000 to $1 million to expand to more states. It’s finding new ways to raise money, including selling downloads and CDs of a country music tune sung by North Dakota farmer Joe Schmidt. “My Field of Dreams” was written by Billy Ray Cyrus’ cousin, Bobby.<\/p>\n

BEACH, N.D. (AP) – A Beach man is accused of killing another man from the city earlier this month.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Twenty-two-year-old Gabriel Castro is accused of shooting 24-year-old Richard Young in the head on June 6. Young died four days later.
\n\u00a0
\nCastro also is charged with hindering law enforcement and giving false information to officers. He could face life in prison without parole if convicted of murder.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court documents do not list an attorney for Castro, and a home telephone listing could not be found. He is due in court Aug. 25 for a preliminary hearing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Trial has been moved to 2017 for the onetime operator of a North Dakota oil field well accused in an illegal wastewater dumping case.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jason Halek, of Southlake, Texas, is facing 13 federal charges, including violating the Safe Drinking Water Act, making false statements and obstructing grand jury proceedings. He has pleaded not guilty.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Halek injected saltwater into a disposal well without having state inspectors sign off on the well’s integrity, and continued to inject the fluid after a failed pressure test. Saltwater is a byproduct of oil production and is considered an environmental hazard.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Judge Daniel Hovland on Wednesday moved trial from Oct. 27 to Jan. 10. It is expected to last four weeks.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the city of Williston broke the state’s open meetings law when more than one commissioner got involved in meetings with industry leaders to discuss the status of “man camps.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem says the city followed the law when Williston Mayor Howard Klug asked a city commissioner and other city leaders to meet with representatives from various industries to talk about crew camps.\u00a0 However, Stenehjem says, the city broke the law when a different commissioner attended a meeting on the same subject last August.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stenehjem says Klug and commissioner Tate Cymbaluk must draft minutes of the Aug. 5 meeting within a week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Williston officials have set a July 1 deadline for crew camps to shut down. Officials have said construction of new apartments and hotels has caught up with population growth.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gasoline is noticeably cheaper in North Dakota than it was last year heading into the Fourth of July holiday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The latest weekly report from GasBuddy.com shows an average retail price in North Dakota of about $2.25 a gallon. That’s lower than the national average of $2.31 a gallon.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The average price also is nearly 50 cents per gallon cheaper than a year ago in North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Senior Petroleum Analyst Gregg Laskoski says the impact of Britain leaving the European Union is expected to add even more downward pressure to summer gas prices, despite record-setting demand.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The state Board of Higher Education says it won’t give pay raises to any of the college presidents and has delayed its decision on whether to extend the contract of North Dakota State University president Dean Bresciani.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Board members say they struggled with the pay issue but decided against increases because of the state’s financial woes. Many of the presidents had already decided they would not accept raises.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board says it will discuss extending Bresciani’s contract in November, when it will review the NDSU president’s progress on meeting goals that include teamwork, communication and collaboration.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board voted to extend the contracts through June 2018 for presidents from Minot State, Mayville State, Valley City State, Bismarck State, Lake Region State and North Dakota State College of Science.<\/p>\n

\u3000\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Several dozen people attended a farewell party for outgoing Williston State College President Raymond Nadolny.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nadolny announced in May that he planned to resign in June 2017 to spend more time with family. He decided earlier this month to move up the date to spend the summer with his three daughters as his family begins the relocation process.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His farewell party was held Wednesday night in the gymnasium on campus. He says he will miss the students the most.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In 2014, University System Interim Chancellor Larry Skogen placed Nadolny on indefinite leave pending an investigation into alleged alcohol misconduct. Nadolny returned to his post within a month.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators have adopted new rules aimed at reducing spills by the oil industry.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Industrial Commission on Wednesday approved the rules that included bonding and increased inspections on pipelines. Another new rule requires berms to be built around a well site to keep spills from spreading.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota oil companies have opposed the rules. They say adding more rules adds costs to companies that already are dealing with depressed crude prices.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The rules must still pass before the Legislature’s Administrative Rules Committee, which has the power to block, change or delay new regulations.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says public hearings on rules were done in several cities in April. He says October is the earliest the rules could be in place.<\/p>\n

\u00a0ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) – More than two years after bankruptcy proceedings started for the Northern Beef Packers plant in Aberdeen, unsecured creditors have been given final notice to submit proof of their claims for payment. Court documents show 738 creditors received notice that all claims must be filed by Sept. 12. The American News reports that there’s about $743,000 available for claims distribution.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has signed off on an environmental review of a Red River diversion project around the flood-prone cities of Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota.
\n\u00a0The DNR said in its report Wednesday that the review meets all legal requirements and backers of the project can move ahead with trying to secure necessary permits. DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr says it’s not an endorsement of the project.
\n\u00a0Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Authority Chairman Darrel Vanyo says his group is happy with the findings, but calls the pursuit for permits the “big issue” in getting the project started.
\n\u00a0A group of upstream opponents has filed a lawsuit asking the Army Corps of Engineers to consider a cheaper project that wouldn’t flood farmland that would be part of a staging area.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Officials are into the second phase of a $55 million Williams County expansion project.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Crews last week demolished a building to make way for a three-story addition to the County Administration Building.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 29,000-square-foot structure will accommodate all county-related administrative departments in their own suite. County Communications Officer Melody Miluer says that will improve access for the public.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first phase of the expansion project began in April, when an apartment building was leveled to provide space for a 51,000-square-foot jail addition with 108 beds to ease overcrowding.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Renovations to the Williams County Courthouse will be the final phase of the expansion project. That’s slated to begin in fall 2017.<\/p>\n

Johnson had been considered a top contender for the Conservative Party leadership, and he had campaigned for Britain to leave the EU.\u00a0

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ROME (AP) – Italian authorities are lowering by as much as 300 the number of people estimated to have died in a 2015 migrant shipwreck in the Mediterranean. Some of the 28 people who survived said the boat was carrying 700 to 800 people, with most of them trapped in the hull. But after the ship was raised from the seabed this week, officials got a look at the ship’s dimensions and revised the number of passengers. Some 180 bodies already have been recovered and officials believe another 300 or more are still in the hull.
