One Vehicle Rollover

Two people were hurt when the vehicle they were in lost control on the wet road and rolled. The Minnesota State Patrol says the incident happened at about 3:20 p.m. on Monday on Highway 10 near Randall in Morrison County. Forty-four-year-old Chad Huntington of Brooklyn Center was driving east on the highway.  As the vehicle approached 210th Street, it began to spin out due to the wet road, overcorrected before going into the ditch, drove over the embankment, causing the vehicle to go airborne over 210th, landing and then rolling about two or three times before coming to a stop on its roof. Huntington and his passenger, 49-year-old Julie Huntington of Brooklyn Center, were both taken to St. Gabriel's Hospital in Little Falls with non-life-threatening injuries.

Todd County Man Sentenced For Sexual Assault

The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office announced Monday that a  Todd County man will spend the next 30 years in prison for sexually assaulting six children over seven years. Mervin C. Kauffman was sentenced Monday to 360 months in prison after pleading guilty June 5 to six counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Kauffman assaulted the six juveniles between Aug. 14, 2015, and Sept. 5, 2022, according to the Attorney General’s Office. The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office prosecuted the case after Todd County Attorney John Lindemann referred it under a state law that allows the attorney general to step in on criminal cases at a county attorney’s request. “Nothing can ever make up for the abuse these young people suffered at Kauffman’s hands, and my heart continues to go out to them and their families,” Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement. “I am, however, pleased to see the court impose a stiff sentence on Kauffman for his horrific acts and hope that this marks a moment of healing for the victims.” The Todd County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.

Two Brothers Face Felony Charges

Two brothers are facing felony aggravated assault charges after West Fargo police say a fight outside a bar left three people injured, including one man who briefly lost consciousness and a woman who suffered a broken nose. 23 year old Landon  Gode, , of West Fargo, and 24 year old  Mason  Gode, 24 of Browerville , Minnesota, were each charged September 14 in Cass County District Court with one count of aggravated assault, a Class C felony. Both were arraigned in custody the same day. A preliminary hearing and arraignment is scheduled for October 16, with a felony dispositional conference set for December 2. According to a West Fargo Police Department report, officers responded to Unhynged Bar on Sheyenne Street around 2:06 a.m. on September 12 after a caller reported an active fight in the parking lot, with two people down and one unconscious. Officers arrived to find a large crowd along with an injured woman seated on the ground. The report states the altercation began after a comment referencing Native Americans angered one of two men who told police they became involved in the fight. According to surveillance footage reviewed by officers, one of the men pushed Landon Gode, who then lifted him off the ground and slammed him onto the concrete, causing him to briefly lose consciousness. The report states Mason Gode then struck the second man, lifting him and slamming him onto the pavement, causing him to lose consciousness for several minutes; bystanders told officers he appeared to have a seizure following the impact. According to the report, as the altercation continued, one of the men was pushed down again and fell onto a woman who had stepped in during the fight, causing her head to strike the pavement and knocking her unconscious. The woman was treated by paramedics at the scene and later confirmed she suffered a broken nose, according to the report. Both Landon and Mason Gode were arrested at the scene and booked into the Cass County Jail. The bar’s manager requested that both men be trespassed from the property.

Water And Soil Grants

The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources will offer $3.22 million in grants to the state’s soil and water conservation districts to support soil health practices, according to the board. The Soil Health Delivery Funds support conservation practices such as no-till farming, planting cover crops and rotational grazing, which the board said can improve crop productivity and help farms withstand severe weather. BWSR Executive Director John Jaschke said in a statement that the funding will help meet landowners’ needs. “This funding will help SWCD staff meet the unique needs of landowners who want to integrate soil health practices into their farming operations. Giving farmers the support they need to protect drinking water sources and adapt to our changing climate is an essential element of achieving large-scale conservation and productivity benefits in the long run,” Jaschke said. BWSR is engaging all Minnesota soil and water conservation districts in a Request for Interest process that opened Monday and closes Oct. 15 to help refine funding needs within each county, according to the board. The board said it has previously awarded more than $57 million in soil health funds in collaboration with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service to support an accelerated soil health initiative, which funds local outreach, education, technical assistance and conservation practice implementation.
