Jamestown (CSi) A 23 year old Jamestown man has been charged in connection with a Jamestown Police traffic stop on Monday afternoon, near Lincoln School that allegedly uncovered drugs and weapons after a search of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Jamestown Police Chief Scott Edinger on Wednesday said, Levi Guthmiller was charged with driving under suspension, in connection with the stop.<\/p>\n
He also had two arrest warrants out on him for failure to appear in court.<\/p>\n
Chief Edinger said that no complaints have been issued yet from the Stutsman County State\u2019s Attorneys office on other possible charges, stemming from the search of Guthmiller\u2019s vehicle during the Monday traffic stop.<\/p>\n
On Monday Jamestown Police Officer Logan Hord said the vehicle was stopped near Lincoln School, as Guthmiller was wanted under two outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court on a previous charge of possession of a concealed weapon violation.<\/p>\n
Monday afternoon, a search of the vehicle turned up three automatic handguns, that were loaded, a Taurus .45 caliber, a Taurus .40 caliber and a Smith & Wesson 9 millimeter, and narcotics.<\/p>\n
Two Jamestown Police officers and one Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputy made the traffic stop and apprehended him. A second individual in the vehicle was released.<\/p>\n
On Monday Guthmiller was arrested for Driving While License Suspended.<\/p>\n
He was also arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance, Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia Marijuana and Possession of Meth.<\/p>\n
Following his arrest he was transported to the Stutsman County Jail.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday afternoon, no additional formal charges were lodged against Guthmiller on the weapons and narcotics.<\/p>\n
The State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office on Wednesday was still reviewing the police report.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Fire Department was called out at 4:50am Wednesday morning, to a utility pole on fire in the 300 block of 2nd Avenue Southwest.<\/p>\n
Three city fire units were called to the scene.<\/p>\n
Otter Tail Power Company\u2019s Jeff Hoff at the office says, the fire itself did not cause a power outage, however the power was turned off about 7-a.m., until 8:50-a.m, to allow crews to disconnect the power to repair the pole\u2019s cross-arms and replacement the insulator.<\/p>\n
He says the power outage was limited to the small area of the fire.<\/p>\n
The cause was a faulty insulator, as the morning rain entered the equipment causing it to fail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jamestown (CSi) A reminder, Jamestown city officials say that the Sales Tax Division of the North Dakota State Tax Department has notified the City Administrator\u2019s Office that the 1% City Sales Tax for the construction of Phase 1 of the TRAC Facility as approved by city voters in 2015, will be effective April 1, 2016, <\/b>rather than January 1, 2016 as provided in the ordinance adopted by the City Council in September of 2015.<\/p>\n
The total Sales Tax in the City of Jamestown will return to 7%.<\/p>\n
An additional 1% Sales tax is imposed for restaurant food and lodging.<\/p>\n
The Tax Department revealed that no one at the Tax Department recalled receiving the letter and enclosed ordinance mailed by the City to the tax department on September 22, 2015. The state tax department\u2019s deadline for increasing or lowering a local sales tax effective January 1, 2016 was September 30, 2015.<\/p>\n

The senators <\/b>will meet with working families and community leaders at a daycare facility in Jamestown to talk about how a strong federal paid family and medical leave policy as the senators\u2019 FAMILY Act would create would enable working families to get the paid leave they need to care for a newborn, a sick child, or an elderly parent.<\/p>\n
Heitkamp says about half of the private sector workforce in North Dakota can\u2019t earn a single paid sick day to care for a loved one. And only about a third of North Dakota\u2019s working adults are eligible for let alone able to afford unpaid leave.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday unveiled its Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, capable of trapping 25 times more heat than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EPA aims to reduce methane emissions by at least 40 percent over the next decade.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MDU will focus on excavation damages. President and CEO Nicole Kivisto says damage to natural gas pipelines by third parties is a “significant” cause of the company’s emissions.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Carl Short was to stand trial this week on a felony charge filed in 2014 that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.\u00a0 Short notified the court he intends to change his plea to guilty.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Short is scheduled to change his plea and be sentenced on June 14.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cobb alleged discrimination because of his white supremacy religious views. The Department of Labor and Human Rights rejected all of the complaints, including one Cobb filed against Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, who’s running for governor.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cobb filed the complaints during the height of his failed attempt to take over the small town of Leith – many of them while he sat in jail for menacing and terrorizing residents. He’s serving probation for those offenses.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cobb says he didn’t expect any of the complaints to be resolved in his favor because of his unpopular views. He calls the process “a comedy.”<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minneapolis police chief is promising her officers will show restraint in the face of expected protests over two white officers being cleared in the November death of a black man. Chief Janee (juh-NAY’) Harteau says public safety is her top priority and police will ensure it for everyone – including protesters, bystanders and police. The chief was criticized last week for putting out a video that said violence wouldn’t be tolerated after the prosecutor’s decision. The decision announced today was that the officers would not be charged in the shooting death of Jamar Clark.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ECHO SUMMIT, California (AP) – California water surveyors have determined that the Sierra Nevada snowpack is just about average. The finding Wednesday sets the stage for tough decisions to come on water conservation requirements for California residents. The key spring measurement found the snowpack at about 95 percent of normal. Officials say they intend to use the figure when they reopen a discussion on whether to ease or drop the water-savings mandates. The state is in its fifth year of a historic drought.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) – About 20 residents in six homes at a mobile home park along Florida’s Gulf Coast have been evacuated after a 60-foot-wide, 35-foot-deep hole opened in the ground. The residents at the Tarpon Shores Mobile Home Park were taken to a park clubhouse as a precaution while officials take a closer look at the hole. The Tampa Bay Times reports that authorities are investigating whether a water line break is responsible or if the deep hole is a naturally occurring sinkhole.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Authorities in Alaska’s largest city say three first-graders have been disciplined over a plot to kill a fellow student with silica gel packets that the girls believed was poison. Parents of the 32 first-graders attending the school in Anchorage got word of the plot in an email yesterday. School district officials say the students acknowledged they planned the poisoning. Police say a school resource officer interviewed the girls and charges won’t be filed.<\/p>\n
