GRAFTON, N.D. -- On Nov.

According to a press release
from the Grafton Police Department,
The Grand Forks Police Department

vidual at a residence in Grafton was
in possession of and possibly man-
ufacturing explosive devices•
After a several hour standoff
and recovery of several explosive
devices, Gregory Sevigny, age 62,
of Grafton, was taken into custody
for possessing the explosive devices.
He was charged with five felony
counts for possession of bombs
and resisting arrest. As of Monday,

vestigation are the Walsh County

Texas telemarketer banned
from doing business in ND
BISMARCK, N.D. -- Texas
telemarketer France Carrasco, do-
ing business as Hyper-Phonebank,
The Political Group, Hyper-
phonebank.com, and Thepolitical-
group.com, is banned from con-
ducting business in North Dakota.
Attorney General Wayne Stene-
ljem issued a cease and desist or-
der today against Carrasco and his
telemarketing operations• Carrasco
lists an address in San Antonio,
Texas, and also operates in Wash-
lngton, DC.
The Attorney General's Con-
sumer Protection division initiated
an investigation after receiving a
omplaint of an alleged violation of
:he Do Not Call laws. The investi-
gation determined that in addition to
contacting individuals whose tele-
phone numbers were registered on
the Do Not Call list, Carrasco used
prerecorded messages in his tele-
marketing activities, which also is
illegal in North Dakota.
"North Dakotans have made it
abundantly clear that they do not
eeant to be bothered by unwanted
telemarketing calls• My office will
• )igorously enforce the state's Do
Not Call laws," said Stenehjem.
Use of pre-recorded telephone
messages is illegal in North Dako-
ta. Federal and state laws prohibit
telemarketers from calling tele-
phone numbers that have been reg-
istered on the Do Not Call list for
more than 31 days.
Carrasco did not respond to the
investigators' inquiries or a Civil In-
vestigative Demand requiring Car-
rasco to provide information to the
Attorney General•
Carrasco and his businesses are
banned from issuing any invoices or
bills to North Dakota consumers for
any services or merchandise and
from taking any payments from
North Dakota consumers.
More than 511,100 North Dako-
ta (701) area code telephone num-
bers are already registered on the
state's Do Not Call list. Both land
lines and cellular telephone numbers
can be registered on the list, by vis-
iting https://www.donotcall.gov/or
calling toll-free 1-888-382-1222.
Consumers who are registered on
the DNC list and receive an un-
wanted call on a (701) area code res-
idential or cellular telephone num-
ber can file a complaint with the At-
torney General's office at
