A Tioga man has been sentenced to a concurrent sentence of four years in three cases in Mountrail County.

Andrew Allen Norm Wiedmer, 33, Tioga, appeared in North Central District Court for a pretrial conference on Thursday, where he entered changes of plea to guilty for 11 counts while nine were dismissed.

In the first case, Wiedmer was charged in September 2024 with one Class C felony count of fleeing a peace officer-risk of death or serious bodily injury, 11 counts of Class A misdemeanor reckless endangerment, and Class B misdemeanor counts of reckless driving-rights/safety and driving under revocation-alcohol related. Wiedmer pleaded guilty to all but seven of the counts of reckless endangerment which were dismissed.

According to court documents, a Mountrail County sheriff’s deputy was on regular patrol running stationary radar on U.S. Highway 2 on Sept. 12, 2024, when a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was recorded traveling 98 mph in a 70 mph zone. Two deputies began to pursue the vehicle, which fled at speeds in excess of 110 mph. The driver of the vehicle nearly collided with multiple bystander vehicles during the pursuit. The deputies eventually lost sight of the vehicle, but identified Wiedmer as the driver by the prior owner of the vehicle to whom it was still registered. Wiedmer was on parole and probation at the time.

In the second case, Wiedmer pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault-bodily injury with attempt to inflict serious bodily injury-law enforcement, a Class B felony; and disarming or attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer, a Class C felony. Class C felony counts of preventing arrest-felony and fleeing a peace officer were dismissed.

According to court documents, Mountrail County sheriff’s deputies were on routine patrol on Oct. 29, 2024, observing the entrance to a residence known to be Wiedmer’s and Tyler Roy Langved.

Both Wiedmer and Langved had active warrants from multiple agencies. The deputy reported hearing two motorcycles leave the residence, and moved to intercept them before they reached Highway 2. The motorcycle driven by Langved drove past the deputy, but Wiedmer got off his motorcycle and started running toward a nearby tree row.

The deputy tased Wiedmer twice, but Wiedmer resisted, wrestling the deputy for control and struck the deputy in the face multiple times. Wiedmer placed his arm on the deputy’s throat and restricted his breathing but the deputy was able to communicate with dispatch for assistance. Wiedmer attempted to grab the deputy’s firearm, but the deputy was able to regain control and deescalate the situation as backup arrived.

Wiedmer pleaded guilty in the third case to Class C felony theft-take-$1,000-$10,000 and criminal mischief-willful-tamper-reckless, a Class A misdemeanor. The charges stemmed from a reported theft of a Kawasaki motorcycle on Oct. 28, 2024, in Mountrail County. According to court documents, the victim provided security video to law enforcement of Wiedmer loading the victim’s motorcycle into the Chevrolet Silverado. The VIN of the stolen motorcycle matched the VIN of the motorcycle seized by law enforcement following his arrest the day before.

According to court documents, the green undercoat of the vehicle had been spray painted red, causing between $500-1,500 in damage.

Judge Richard Hagar ordered Wiedmer to serve a concurrent sentence across all three cases. Wiedmer was sentenced to 10 years with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for the Class B felony, and a sentence of five years for the Class C felonies, 360 days in the Mountrail County Correctional Center for the Class A misdemeanors. Wiedmer was given credit for 100 days already served, Hagar suspended all but four years for all felony counts, and 180 days for the Class A misdemeanors.

Wiedmer was ordered to complete three years of supervised probation upon release, along with a chemical dependency evaluation. Wiedmer was also assessed $1,825 in court fines and fees.
