A white supremacist who unsuccessfully tried to take over a small North Dakota town is scheduled to stand trial this summer on terrorizing charges.

South Central District Judge Gail Hagerty on Feb. 10 gave attorneys in the case of Craig Cobb three weeks to work out a plea deal. But on Thursday, the court scheduled a jury trial for July 15-17, with Judge David Reich presiding.

Cobb is accused of terrorizing residents of Leith with guns in mid-November. He has pleaded not guilty to seven felony counts. Grant County State's Attorney Todd Schwarz this week moved to dismiss one of the counts, saying the evidence didn't justify it.

The 62-year-old Cobb still could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on the other counts.
