At approximately 2:49 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6, the Williston, N.D., Police Department was dispatched to a call from a juvenile who reported being chased by individuals in a black SUV. Through investigation, officers identified a residence in the 100 block of 11th Street East that was potentially connected to the report.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with a female at the residence, who reported additional individuals were inside and narcotics were present.
