BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) A Grand Forks man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he neglected a child and attempted to disarm a police officer in Bismarck.
Eric Knight is accused of trying to take the gun of an officer who helped conduct a welfare check on a 2-year-old child at a Bismarck hotel on Feb. 8.
Defense attorney Jeff Bredahl maintains that officers entered the hotel room without a warrant, and he questions the necessity of the encounter.
Bredahl is scheduled for trial in late June on felony charges of child neglect, preventing arrest and attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer.
