JAMESTOWN — One person was sentenced recently on a felony charge in Southeast District Court in Jamestown. Amanda Dawn Glucky, 41, pleaded guilty to violation of civil protection order-second offense, a Class C felony.

Judge Troy LeFevre sentenced Glucky to 21 days in the Stutsman County Correctional Center with one day credit for time served. LeFevre placed Glucky on 360 days unsupervised probation and ordered her to not possess or own firearms for 360 days, notify the court of an address change and to have no contact – direct or indirect – with a certain individual or come within 300 feet of the individual’s residence.

JAMESTOWN — The second phase of the 96-inch stormwater replacement project in southwest Jamestown is almost complete. Tyler Michel, public works director, said work was being done on the last service line on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to complete the second segment of the second phase for the project. He said the water in the Baymont by Wyndham parking lot drains into that pipe. A contractor was expected to arrive in Jamestown to pave 24th Street Southwest, Michel said. “They are looking at paving it next week, the way it sounds,” he said. The company that we're going through says it's a 50-year warranty, but they're seeing signs that it could last 200 years. The first phase of the 96-inch stormwater replacement project included repairing a 96-inch stormwater pipe near Applebee’s in 2023. Stormwater runoff and flooding resulted in the failure of the pipe located south of 25th Street Southwest and east of 8th Avenue Southwest. The sinkhole at the site was estimated to be 12 to 14 feet deep.
