Mayor candidate files federal lawsuit against city police, county sheriff
A new twist has emerged in Minot’s mayoral race. Candidate Josiah Roise, along with family members, has filed a federal lawsuit against the Minot Police Department and Ward County Sheriff’s Office, alleging constitutional violations stemming from a 2019 search and seizure incident. Roise says the lawsuit seeks to expose what he describes as persistent problems with local law enforcement, even as he campaigns for the city’s top office. The case now sits with the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund while Roise seeks legal counsel. Jill Schramm with Minot Daily News has the full story.
