BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A Denver man is accused of drug and weapons charges in the North Dakota oil patch.

Jesse James Jackson is charged in federal court with distribution of a controlled substance and possession of a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime.

Jackson is currently jailed in Sterling. His original appearance and arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 15 in Bismarck.

Court documents do not list a lawyer for Jackson.
