Bismarck Man Shot By Police Sentenced

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A man shot and wounded by Bismarck police in late January has been sentenced to five years in prison on several charges.

Judge James Hill on Wednesday sentenced Travis Clark Jr. for crimes ranging from burglary and reckless endangerment to violating probation on earlier offenses.

The 26-year-old Clark was shot by two Bismarck police officers on Jan. 31 after authorities say he ignored the officers' commands and reached for what officers believed was a weapon.

Clark still faces other charges, including two connected with an alleged escape attempt from a hospital last month.
