JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP& KCSi-T.V. News Aug 16, 2012) \u2013 A witness testifying in the case of a Jamestown man accused of killing a Somali immigrant says the woman allegedly tried to dispose the body in his well.<\/p>\n

Thirty-four-year-old Leron Howard is charged with murder and criminal conspiracy in the death of 18-year-old Abdi Ali Ahmed.<\/p>\n

Authorities say he was beaten and stabbed.<\/p>\n

Delmonte Jones testified Thursday that Howard and 22-year-old Janelle Cave came to his home early in the morning of April 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

Jones says the two asked about Jones\u2019 well, saying they had a body to dispose of.<\/p>\n

Jones said he did not believe them and sent them away.<\/p>\n

Jones was also questioned by court-appointed defense attorney, Steven Mottinger about selling marijuana to Howard and Cave, to which he replied, “no.”<\/p>\n

Mottinger also asked Jones about a trip he, Howard and other individuals took to Montana and if marijuana was purchased.<\/p>\n

Jones replied by saying the group went to buy shoes and clothes in Montana, but he could not recall the name of the city or the mall where they shopped.<\/p>\n

Thursday afternoon a muddy and corroded sword was introduced into evidence, with no physical evidence from the weapon.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The arrest of a West Fargo man on his 14th
\ndrunken driving charge has spurred talk among some North Dakota
\nlawmakers about how to toughen state laws against DUI.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kevin Tegtmeier (TEG’-my-ur) pleaded not guilty on Thursday. He
\nwas arrested last month, and had a blood-alcohol content of 0.25
\npercent.<\/p>\n

Tegtmeier is being held in the Cass County jail on $15,000
\nbond.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s toughest penalty against repeat drunken driving
\noffenders is five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.<\/p>\n

A person who’s convicted five times in seven years is eligible for the penalty.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo state Sen. Tim Mathern says he’ll be introducing
\nlegislation to require DUI offenders to have different license
\nplates and a notation on their driver’s licenses.

\nMinot bars on June 19.

\nemployees at the first bar gave a description that included a
\nswastika tattoo on his neck.

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Democratic Senate Candidate Heidi Heitkamp is
\ndenouncing as false an ad from a third-party group backed by
\nRepublican operative Karl Rove that alleges she received campaign
\ncontributions from a lawyer she hired when she was North Dakota’s
\nattorney general.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heitkamp says the lawyer in question was never paid for his work
\nby North Dakota. She says Jack McConnell Jr. was appointed to
\nrepresent North Dakota and other states for legal action against
\ntobacco companies that she was involved in, but she says North
\nDakota never paid him during her tenure.<\/p>\n

McConnell and his wife donated $30,000 to Heitkamp’s 2000 failed bid for governor.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Crossroads spokesman did not immediately respond to a request
\nfor comment.<\/p>\n

The group recently pulled an ad Heitkamp said was misleading but re-released it with changes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s secretary of state says some signatures on the latest batch of initiative petitions are tough to read — and that hampers the verification process.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Al Jaeger says he may ask the North Dakota Legislature to require people who sign petitions to also print their names.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jaeger’s office is reviewing five initiative petitions with more than 130,000 signatures.<\/p>\n

They range from medical marijuana to a constitutional amendment on farmers’ rights.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 People who sign petitions have to list their addresses, and workers ask some of them later to verify whether they signed the petition.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jaeger says the process is more difficult when someone’s signature can’t be read.<\/p>\n

He says a requirement that a signer also print his or her name would make things easier.<\/p>\n
