Bismarck man accused of kidnapping, terrorizing

BISMARCK (AP) — A Bismarck man is accused of forcing his way into an apartment, holding another man at gunpoint and firing several shots.

The Bismarck Tribune reports 39-year-old Christopher Williams is charged with kidnapping, terrorizing and reckless endangerment.

Police say the incident early Thursday was the result of a dispute between the two men.

Authorities say Williams fired one shot into the wall in the apartment, another into the air as the two left the apartment and another as they got near Williams’ vehicle.

The man was able to escape and told police he heard another shot as he fled.

Williams is being held in the Burleigh Morton Detention Center on $50,000 bail. Court documents do not list a defense attorney.
