BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A man shot by Bismarck police last year for the second time in five years has pleaded guilty to terrorizing and been sentenced to serve five years in prison.
Forty-nine-year-old Glenn Lovgren was accused of calling 911 to report he was holding hostages last August. Officers believed Lovgren was ambushing them at a softball complex as he started running toward them and motioning as if he had a gun.
Three officers who shot Lovgren were cleared of wrongdoing.
Lovgren also was shot by police during a similar incident in 2011 in which authorities said he confronted officers after calling 911 and reporting that he held hostages.
The Bismarck Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/2rVfF5I ) Lovgren was on parole for that crime and had absconded from a halfway house when the 2016 incident occurred.
