A sentencing hearing for drug dealer Todd Michael Behm, 49, Minot, was postponed on Tuesday after Behm claimed that he was never interviewed by the person who prepared a pre-sentence investigation report.

Prosecutor Tina Snellings said she was “floored” by the claim as the report is filled with quotes from Behm and information that could have only come from him.

North Central District Court Judge Gary Lee said the hearing would have to be rescheduled and he wants the investigator to be present at the next hearing to testify as to what is in the report. Lee said if someone made up the report, he wants to know about it.

Behm’s attorney, Mark Meyer, told the judge that Behm doesn’t dispute most of the information in the pre-sentence investigation and wondered if the sentencing could go forward on Tuesday.

Lee refused to go forward with the sentencing and said it would have to be rescheduled.

Behm, 49, pleaded guilty on May 13 to Class B felony intent to deliver ecstasy, Class B felony intent to deliver marijuana, Class C felony possession of methamphetamine, Class C felony maintaining a premises for the use, storage, or sale of illegal drugs, and Class A misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Behm was arrested in January after police responded to a report of an underaged drinking party at Behm’s residence and saw three young people and open containers of alcohol in the kitchen and living room and smelled marijuana. Behm’s probation officer gave them permission to search the residence. Behm was already on supervised probation at the time for prior offenses involving hosting a party at which underaged people drank and smoked marijuana. The search of the residence turned up the drugs and drug paraphernalia. Lee had revoked Behm’s bond earlier this summer after Behm tested positive for drugs on multiple occasions.

Behm expects to serve about 18 months in prison under the terms of a plea deal proposed by the prosecution, according to court documents.
