\u00a0Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 Stutsman County Emergency Manager, Jerry Bergquist reports, the Jamestown Police Department has moved its downstairs Shift Commanders office upstairs to greatly improve internal work efficiencies by being closer to its overall police operation. Individuals with law enforcement business may go to the main floor lobby of the LEC Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. and speak to a representative of the Jamestown Police Department, Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office or the ND Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

In addition, the lower level of the LEC will be open Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. for individuals to access the Stutsman County Veteran\u2019s Service and Emergency Management offices. Lower level access will be limited to those offices and the meeting rooms.<\/p>\n

Because there will no longer be a law enforcement presence downstairs, beginning February 2, 2015 the lower level will be locked after regular business hours, weekends and holidays. During the \u201coff hour\u201d times, individuals with law enforcement business can call the Stutsman County Communications Center at 701-252-1000. A courtesy phone located at the entrance of the LEC is available to make the call. Once notified, the Dispatcher will arrange for an officer to contact the individual. As always, in an emergency, call 9-1-1.<\/p>\n

Jail operations will remain the same with normal business hours being Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A \u201ccall box\u201d located in the main floor lobby will continue to be available to speak to a Correction Officer.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) A westbound semi and trailer with a load height of 17 feet 2 inches was unable to clear the 16 feet 1 inch high overpass at I-94, exit 257, at Jamestown, about 4:30-p.m., Monday.<\/p>\n

No damages reported, as the driver stopped the rig when he realized the trailer load, a large spool of wire, wouldn\u2019t clear the structure.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Police, the Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office, and North Dakota Highway Patrol, assisted at the scene, while the driver back the unit to the interchange with Highway 281, and then was directed to 17th<\/sup> Street Southwest, to return to I-94.<\/p>\n

Bismarck (CSi) The North Dakota Highway Patrol\u2019s Annual Report says, last year proved to be another busy year on North Dakota roadways.<\/p>\n

Troopers made 1,677 DUI arrests and 1,049 drug-related arrests. Lack of seat belt use continued to contribute to injuries and deaths. Fifty-five percent of fatal crash victims were unrestrained.

More than 262,000 commercial motor vehicle permits were issued in 2014.<\/p>\n

Motor carrier troopers and inspectors participated in speed, right-of-way, seat belt and vehicle size and weight enforcement blitzes to enhance commercial motor vehicle safety. More than 12,500 driver-vehicle examinations were administered to identify truck drivers and vehicles that posed safety risks. Committed to protecting infrastructure, troopers assessed approximately $1.25 million in overload violation fees.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Minnesota man accused of running an illegal gambling operation in North Dakota has pleaded guilty.
\n\u00a0
\n69-year-old Gerald Greenfield, of Bloomington, Minnesota, pleaded guilty to interstate transmittal of wagering information and conspiracy to commit money laundering. A separate charge of conducting an illegal sports betting business was dropped.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Federal prosecutors say Greenfield took approximately $10 million each year in wagers and discussed receiving “several million dollars” from gamblers in Fargo. Greenfield allegedly ran the gambling operation for four years and made an annual profit of between $500,000 and $600,000.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 James Henderson, of Santa Monica, California, is Greenfield’s attorney. Henderson says Greenfield has never denied that he was involved in bookmaking and that all the agreement does is “formally admit that on the record.”<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lawmakers are considering legislation that would allow concealed-carry permit holders to pack guns at schools, if officials allow it.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Education officials told the House Education Committee Tuesday that they are opposed to the measure. They say teachers should not take on the role of law enforcement.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The proposal would require someone who wants to carry a gun in school to undergo training with local law enforcement.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A similar measure that would allow teachers and other school officials to carry guns at school failed two years ago in the Legislature.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Rep. Dwight Kiefert of Valley City says the bill is especially aimed at rural schools where it may take law enforcement a long time to respond. He says just passing the law also would serve as a deterrent.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A federal judge says a lawsuit against a major oil company doing business in the North Dakota oil patch can move forward.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Judge Ralph Erickson’s ruling grants conditional class action status to the suit filed by a former employee of Schlumberger (schlum-ber-ZHAY’), which provides technology and other support services for the oil and gas industry.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The suit alleges that employees worked more than eight hours a day and 40 hours a week, and that the company used a fluctuating work week to avoid paying overtime.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Erickson says the class should be limited to employees working at the Williston site. It’s not clear how many workers would be covered in the suit.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Attorneys for the two sides did not immediately respond to request for comment.<\/p>\n

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A delegation of government and economic development leaders from West Virginia and Ohio is visiting northwestern North Dakota to see firsthand what it’s like to deal with an energy boom.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The residents are from Parkersburg and Vienna, West Virginia, and Belpre and Marietta, Ohio.\u00a0 They hope to apply lessons from North Dakota to what the Mid-Ohio Valley will experience if and when an anticipated ethane cracker plant is built there.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Such plants convert ethane from shale oil and natural gas into chemicals used to produce plastics, fertilizer and other products.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minot City Engineer Lance Meyer told the visitors to look far ahead. He says Minot has identified $815 million in needed water, sewer, transportation, airport, landfill, buildings and flood control projects through 2019.

\u00a0BOSTON (AP) – Nearly the entire island of Nantucket in Massachusetts has lost power. And on the mainland, a travel ban remains in effect in most of the state, amid a blizzard that’s expected to leave behind two feet or more of snow. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says about 500 pieces of equipment are on their way to Long Island to help start digging out. The eastern part of the island got more than two feet of snow.\u00a0

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) – Despite U.S. concerns about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, a U.S. official says President Barack Obama brought up the issue only in broad terms Tuesday during a meeting with the new Saudi king. The official says Obama didn’t cite specific cases. The Saudi ruler was installed on the throne after the death of 90-year-old King Abdullah on Friday. Obama made a four-hour stop in Saudi Arabia today to pay his respects.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 KIEV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s parliament is formally eliminating the possibility of holding peace talks with representatives of separatist republics backed by Russia. The parliament Tuesday declared those republics to be terrorist organizations. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been urging the Ukrainian government to speak directly to the rebels, in hopes of ending the fighting that has killed thousands of people in eastern Ukraine since April.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Jurors in the rape trial of two former Vanderbilt football players have started deliberating. Defense attorneys say evidence shows both former players were extremely drunk on the night of the alleged assault. And they say that the compromising video and photos that the jury saw don’t prove their guilt. One of the defense attorneys blamed a college culture of binge drinking and promiscuous sex. Prosecutors told the jury that the teammates believed they were entitled athletes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CHICAGO (AP) – A federal judge has sentenced twin Chicago brothers to 14 years in prison each for running a nearly $2 billion U.S. drug franchise using cocaine and heroin supplied by a Mexican cartel kingpin.\u00a0 Prosecutors have portrayed the 33-year-old brothers as among the most valuable traffickers-turned-informants in history. For security reasons, the brothers pleaded guilty behind closed doors at a 2012 hearing. This was their first public appearance since they began to spill their secrets six years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
