Arrest made in connection to videotaped threats to Dakota Access Pipeline protesters

BISMARCK -- Police have arrested a man involved in a Monday altercation which on video caught a masked man cursing at and threatening Dakota Access Pipeline protesters.

Jesse D. McLain, 44, of Bismarck has been arrested on two counts of terrorizing, the Bismarck Police Department said in a new release issued Thursday. The charges stem from a confrontation at the Ramada Inn, where two masked men approached a vehicle blocked from driving away from the scene. A live video of the altercation that has been viewed more than 1.2 million times was posted to the Facebook page of Dean Dedman Jr., also known as Shiye Bidziil, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in South Dakota. Dedman confirmed to the Grand Forks Herald the video was shot by him.

The video shows a man in a skull mask approaching Dedman as he sits in a vehicle with a driver identified as Matt. The masked man tells Dedman, who has been critical of Dakota Access, and the other man to “take your protesting a---- back home.”
