JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A Valley City man was sentenced after pleading guilty to charges related to a September incident in which shots were fired into a parked vehicle in Jamestown.

Mikah Alan Striefel, 22, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief, initially a Class C felony reduced to a misdemeanor, false reports to law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor, and discharging a firearm within city limits, a Class B misdemeanor.

Judge James Shockman sentenced Striefel to 64 days in the Stutsman County Correctional Center, with credit for time served, and placed him on three years of supervised probation. Striefel was also ordered to pay $1,325 in restitution, a $400 criminal administration fee, a $100 defense/facility administration fee, and a $25 victim-witness fee.

The charges stem from an incident reported at about 1 a.m. on Sept. 11, when an off-duty Jamestown police officer heard gunshots in a southeast Jamestown neighborhood. Responding officers discovered a parked, unoccupied Buick SUV in the 1400 block of 6th Avenue Southeast with multiple bullet holes. Surrounding homes were occupied at the time, but no injuries were reported.

Investigators determined Striefel intentionally caused more than $2,000 but less than $10,000 in damage to the vehicle, provided false information to law enforcement that could interfere with the investigation, and discharged a firearm within city limits.

Under North Dakota law, a Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to 360 days in prison and a $3,000 fine, while a Class B misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of 30 days in prison and a $1,500 fine.
