JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) - A Fargo man is facing felony charges stemming from a crash that took the life of a Belcourt teen earlier this month.
Authorities say 54-year-old Wilmer Duane Nadeau was eastbound on I-94 July 18 when he entered the median and rolled east of Jamestown. A 17-year-old passenger, Daniel Short, was ejected from the vehicle and died on the scene.
KQDJ (https://bit.ly/2uXWFt0 ) reports Nadeau was initially arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. It was later discovered that the vehicle involved was stolen from a rural residence in Spiritwood.
