Pennington County Walmart Trespass Citation

Thief River Falls (trfnews.i234.me) — A Stearns County woman has been cited after police say she returned to a Thief River Falls Walmart where she was not allowed.

The report says the call came in on November 21 at about 2:45 p.m.

Officers were sent to Walmart in Thief River Falls for a trespassing complaint.

Store staff told police that a woman who had been warned not to come back was on the property again.

The woman was identified as Abby Lee Mosbeck, 44, of St. Augusta.

According to the citation, Mosbeck had been previously warned for trespassing at the same Walmart location.

Police say the earlier warning barred her from returning to the property for one year.

Because she was allegedly back on the property within that time, she was cited for trespassing.

The charge listed is trespassing – return to the property within one year.

The report did not list any injuries or damage linked to the incident.

No other people were named as suspects.

The citation is a criminal allegation and not a finding of guilt.

Minnesota trespass laws outline when a person must leave private or commercial property.

Those rules include obeying posted signs and verbal orders from owners or managers.

More details on state trespass rules can be found in Minnesota Statutes 609.605.

Information on how criminal cases move through the court is available on the Minnesota Judicial Branch website.

Walmart operates stores across Minnesota, and lists store policies on its corporate website.

Store bans and no-trespass notices are often used when staff believe a person’s actions break rules or laws.

Police departments say they rely on those notices when deciding whether a trespass citation is appropriate.

As of the latest information, there was no word of additional charges in this case.

Mosbeck is presumed innocent unless and until she is found guilty in court.

TRF News will follow any future court actions tied to this citation.

Cass County: Fake Driver Steals Fargo Porch Package

Fargo (trfnews.i234.me) — A Fargo family says a fake delivery driver stole their holiday package right off their front step.

Shannon Hendrickson says the trouble started on November 25. He and his girlfriend, Patty, were expecting a delivery from the U.S. Postal Service. The package held about one hundred dollars’ worth of gun slings. They planned to give them as Christmas gifts.

Hendrickson says they later got a notice that the package was delivered to their home on 10th Street North. But when they arrived home, nothing was on the porch. The couple then checked their home security camera.

The video first showed a regular mail delivery. A short time later, a different person walked up to the house. Hendrickson says that the person wore a brown UPS-style vest and carried another box. The person walked to the door, picked up the new package, and left.

“We saw a second person arrive later,” Hendrickson said. “They grabbed our package and took off with it.”

Hendrickson says he was angry and upset. He posted the video on Facebook and asked people to watch for the suspect. He says this is not the first missing package on their busy street.

Hendrickson urges other homeowners to use cameras that record activity near their doors. He says devices like Ring doorbells can help capture key details. He adds that online orders always carry some risk.

The family also contacted the delivery services and police. Hendrickson says he filed online reports with Fargo Police, UPS, and the retailer. So far, he has not received an update.

Anyone with information about the suspect should contact the Fargo Police Department. The agency lists contact options on its website at fargond.gov.

Since the package was delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, the case could involve federal mail theft. Under federal law, stealing U.S. mail can bring up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. More information about missing mail is available from the Postal Service at USPS Missing Mail Help.

UPS also lists steps to protect packages. The company urges customers to use the UPS My Choice tools to guide drivers. People can give directions to leave boxes at the back door, with a neighbor, or at a nearby UPS Store.

Hendrickson hopes someone will recognize the person seen in the video. He wants the gifts replaced and says he wants porch thieves held responsible.

Becker County: Detroit Lakes Garage Fire

Detroit Lakes (trfnews.i234.me) — Becker County firefighters are investigating a garage fire near Detroit Lakes. The blaze left a home with heavy damage and killed one dog. Another dog was rescued.

The call came in at 2:58 p.m. on December 1. Crews arrived at an attached garage southeast of Detroit Lakes. They found flames fully involved in the garage area. No one was home when the fire started.

Two dogs were inside the garage. Firefighters pulled one dog out alive. They later found the second dog after the fire was out. That dog did not survive.

The fire chief says crews held the flames at the garage. The main living space did not burn. The home still took on heavy smoke and water damage. The family will need repairs before they can return.

Crews knocked down the main fire within about 15 minutes. They then checked for hot spots in the walls and attic. Firefighters also helped secure doors and windows after the fire.

The cause of the fire is not yet known. Investigators are looking at what started the blaze in the garage. No injuries to residents or firefighters were reported.

The Detroit Lakes Fire Department was first on scene. Frazee and Audubon fire departments sent extra crews and trucks. Officials say homeowners can find general guidance about what happens after a fire on state and national fire safety sites, including the National Fire Protection Association and local department pages.

Fire officials remind people to test smoke alarms often. They urge families to plan two ways out of every room. They also warn people to keep heaters clear of boxes, fuel, and other items that can burn.

Pet owners are asked to include animals in escape plans. Leashes and carriers should stay near doors so pets can leave quickly. National groups offer checklists, escape planning tools, and pet fire safety tips on their websites, including the American Red Cross.

Obituary | Richard Jorde of Thief River Falls, Minnesota

 

Richard Jorde, born August 27, 1942, in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at Sanford Health in Fargo, North Dakota, surrounded by his loving family. He was 83 years old.

Richard was the son of Clifford Thomas Jorde and Marzella (Rondorf) Jorde. He was raised in rural Excel Township in Marshall County alongside his three sisters — Ellen, Linda, and Sharon — in a home filled with love, faith, and strong family values.

He was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls, where his spiritual foundation was laid. Richard is a longtime member of Zion Lutheran Church, in Thief River Falls, where he has served faithfully on church boards and remained deeply committed to his faith community.

Richard attended Steiner School in rural Excel Township for grades 1 through 8 and graduated from Lincoln High School in Thief River Falls. In 1960, he joined the National Guard and, following basic training, remained active until 1967.

On September 15, 1963, Richard married Sharon Yonke, beginning a loving partnership that spanned 62 years. Together they raised two children, Tamra and Michael, and built a life rooted in devotion, hard work, and quiet joy.

Richard’s professional life reflected his dedication and versatility. From 1961 to 1968, he worked at Sjobergs Appliance, followed by a decade at Amundgaards Implement from 1967 to 1977. He later managed several grain elevators, including Thief River Grain in Thief River Falls, International Multifoods in both Thief River Falls and Shelly, Minnesota, and the Newfolden Elevator. Throughout these years, he also farmed part-time alongside his father and uncles. After the passing of his father in 1990, Richard began farming full-time and continued until his retirement in 1996. He also sold Pioneer Seed during his farming years and for a few years following retirement.

Richard was deeply committed to his community. He was a member of the Thief River Falls Chamber of Commerce, where he served as Director, and was active in the TRF Jaycees and the American Legion. A passionate curler, he was a longtime member and officer of the Thief River Falls Curling Club. His leadership extended to the agricultural community as well — he served on the boards of the National Sunflower Board, the St. Hilaire Coop Elevator, and Northwest Grain, where he also held the role of Chairman. He was also a dedicated member of the Valley Home Board.

Outside of work and service, Richard enjoyed hunting, curling, and cheering on his favorite teams. He was an avid sports fan who followed high school, college, and professional hockey, football, and basketball with enthusiasm and insight.

Richard is survived by his wife Sharon of 62 years; children Tamra (Richard) Peick of Bloomington and Michael Jorde of Thief River Falls; grandchildren, Samantha (Alec) Clement of Denver, CO and Zachary (Sarah Chance) Peick of Ames, IA; sister, Ellen Lindseth of Thief River Falls, MN; and many other friends and relatives who will remember him for his steady presence, generous heart, and the values he lived by every day.

He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, sisters Sharon St. Germain and Linda Magner; brother-in-laws Donald St. Germain and Nels Lindseth, and many dear friends and relatives.

The service to celebrate Richard’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at Zion Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, with Reverend Kristin Ostercamp officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Burial will follow at Greenwood Cemetery in Thief River Falls.

Cass County: Fargo SWAT Ends 3-Hour Standoff

Fargo (trfnews.i234.me) — Police say a three-hour standoff in north Fargo ended with the arrest of a 38-year-old man on Tuesday afternoon.

Officers went to the 1300 block of 9th Street North at 12:37 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2. They were checking a report of a possible violation of a domestic violence protection order.

Police say they developed probable cause to arrest 38-year-old Ben Himle. Officers tried to contact Himle inside his home. However, they say he refused to come out or follow commands.

Negotiators spoke with Himle for an extended period. Police say he would not surrender and his behavior got worse. They say he also made threats that raised safety concerns for everyone in the area.

Because of those concerns, officers called in the Red River Valley SWAT team. The team arrived at about 3:57 p.m. to serve a search warrant and make the arrest.

Before the team went inside, police say Himle gave up and walked out of the residence on his own. Officers took him into custody without further incident.

Police say Himle was booked into the Cass County Jail. He faces counts for violating a domestic violence protection order and preventing arrest. Jail and inmate information for Cass County is listed on the county corrections site at casscountynd.gov.

Officers say there is no ongoing threat to the public. Roads near the scene reopened after the arrest, and police cleared the area.

Domestic violence protection orders are civil court orders that can limit or block contact between people. The North Dakota Supreme Court’s website offers forms and guidance for protection orders at ndcourts.gov. The Fargo Police Department also lists victim services, order types, and safety tips at fargond.gov.

Anyone facing domestic violence can contact local shelters or the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The hotline is available at thehotline.org and by phone at 1-800-799-7233.

Pennington County: Thief River Falls DWI Arrest

Thief River Falls (trfnews.i234.me) — A 73-year-old local man has been cited after a late-night traffic stop.

The stop happened in rural Pennington County.

Police stopped a vehicle near the intersection of 188th Street Northeast and Highway 32 on November 24.
The time of the stop was about 11:22 p.m.

The driver was identified as Terry Lynn Lubitz of Thief River Falls.

According to the citation, the officer reported signs that suggested possible impairment during the roadside contact.
The report says Lubitz showed indicators of impairment while speaking with the officer at the scene.

He was asked to perform a series of standard field sobriety tests on the roadside that night.
According to the citation, Lubitz did not pass those tests to the officer’s satisfaction.

A preliminary breath test on the scene reportedly showed a blood alcohol content of 0.10.
Minnesota law sets the legal limit for most drivers at 0.08 blood alcohol content.

Police then arrested Lubitz on suspicion of fourth-degree driving while impaired.
He was transported for further testing using a DataMaster breath testing machine, often called a DMT.

The latter DMT test also reportedly showed a 0.10 blood alcohol content result.

Fourth-degree DWI is a misdemeanor-level charge under Minnesota law for many first-time cases.
Penalties can include fines, possible jail time, and loss of driving privileges in some cases.

Lubitz is presumed innocent unless and until he is found guilty in court.
Court dates and charging documents will provide more detail about the case and any prior record.

Readers can find general information about DWI penalties and license sanctions on the
Minnesota Department of Public Safety website.

The Minnesota Judicial Branch also offers online resources that explain court procedure and rights in DWI cases.

No other injuries or vehicles were mentioned in the initial report of the traffic stop.
More information may be released if formal charges are filed and court records become available.
