Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but... I actually had a class with this guy back in my college days. Quiet dude; never would have expected him to be charged with something like this. Yikes.

Think there's a job opening in Dickinson now

Is it something in the water? First the TV guy cursing, now this.

Sounds from the story like he was trying to import a mail-order bride. Even they don't want to live in North Dakota, apparently.

The Dickinson Press didn't use the jail's mugshot photo.

I had a few classes with him, too, and he was always extremely nice. Quiet, like you said, but in the few times I got him to open up, he never struck me as a human trafficker.

You can tell few people in Dickinson visit the newspaper's website as comments were left on for the story and no one has commented as of yet.

What does a typioal hunan traffioker look like anyway?

What kind of name is "Abplanalp?"

Very Dickensian, or Dickinsonian in this case, I guess.

Deadspin comments usually suck, but this one was absolute gold:

"A man. A plan. A lap. Plan B. Abplanalp."

All right, that's pretty damn good. I didn't even notice the typo until the pic.

NO OUTING!!!!

From what I've read, this involved a minor. I also think that the trafficking had more to do with state lines because one of the stories I read had something to do with Clay County, which is in Minnesota.

Not really Dickinsonian at all. Don't know anyone from Dickinson with that name. This guy just moved to ND from Colorado last month.

Also, the Dickinson Press' website actually does very well for a paper that size. They're often commended by corporate for that. Other papers (like the one I work for) could do a lot better. Comments weren't turned on yesterday, when I checked, but I am surprised there hasn't been much talk on it. Of course, he's not from Dickinson and he just got here, so nobody really even knows him in Dickinson.

Not sure the human trafficking thing will stick with this guy as long as he gets a lawyer, but certainly crazy news coming out of Dickinson. And yes, they'll be looking for a new sports editor.

 

[gravehunter]

even if he beats the rap?

We can only imagine what they're saying back in Cortez, Colo. ...

Talk about dodging a bullet. Literally!!!
