Looks Like Crime May Not Be As Bad in the Bakken As Some Are Suggesting

This story was all over the news during the past few weeks: how a man hitchhiking to the Bakken in search of a job, and writing memoirs on "human kindness," claimed to have been shot.

It turns out he has confessed to shooting himself.
Dolin had claimed he was hitchhiking along U.S. Highway 2 west of Glasgow on Saturday when the driver of a maroon pickup pulled to a stop and shot him in the upper arm with no provocation.

Authorities later arrested Lloyd Christopher Danielson III, 52, and charged him with felony assault.

That charge was dropped Thursday, although Danielson remained in custody, accused of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he was arrested.

Meier indicated that Danielson denied any role in shooting after he was put into custody.
