Jamestown (WDAY) Authorities have issued a warrant for a Stutsman County resident, accused in an adoption scam.
WDAY reports Betty Jo Krenz of Woodworth has been accused by mothers of staging adoptions, taking money, but never producing a baby.
On Monday felony charges were filed against her.
Perspective moms say she took photos of children that did not belong to her and used them to mislead families ready to adopt.
The families say Krenz used her background as a Spirit Lake social worker to produce fake adoption papers.
In court documents filed Monday states that Krenz told one ‘mom,’ she was heavily involved in the Savanna Greywind case and expected to get custody of Greywind’s child.
It goes so far as to say she tried to stage that baby’s adoption, too.
Krenz told investigators she never gained financially, claiming the families misunderstood.
Krenz said she only put Native American mothers in contact with good families.
Krenz now faces a felony and misdemeanor count of theft, and another felony for using personal information without permission.
The criminal complaint says she took between $1,000 and $10,000 from those families.
If convicted Krenz could get 10 years in prison, plus $20,000 in fines.

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A crash between a semi and a van shut down part of Interstate 94 in West Fargo.
There was no immediate word on how many people were hurt. An officer on the scene Tuesday morning tells KFGO injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The crash happened shortly before 2 a.m. and closed eastbound lanes for about an hour.
Both vehicles sustained heavy damage. The semi spilled a load of bricks when it jackknifed.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Minneapolis law firm says poor policies, training and supervision have plagued a small North Dakota high school where alleged hazing led to charges against five boys.
The report by the Langevin Lentz firm for the Richland 44 School Board details reports from parents of what has come to be called the “rape game” in the community. But it also says there’s confusion about what that actually is.
The term has been described several ways, from finger-poking of the buttocks through clothes to students being restrained and anally penetrated with fingers.
Authorities in mid-February referred five boys to juvenile court for alleged offenses including felonious restraint, terrorizing, hazing and sexual assault.
The law firm found issues with school policies, training and supervision. The school board says they’ll be addressed.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Charities and others are upset with draft rules that would govern the use of electronic pull tabs in North Dakota.
The Legislature last year approved the use of electronic pull tabs and the North Dakota attorney general’s office has crafted rules for their use.
A public hearing on the proposed rules was held Monday at the state Capitol.
Minot Republican Rep. Andy Maragos was the primary sponsor of the bill. But he says the draft rules don’t comply with the legislation’s intent.
The draft rules, among other things, would limit the number of the machines and payouts.
Paper pull tabs account for a majority of the wagers at charitable gambling outlets.
Backers of the electronic pull tabs say they will not replace the paper tickets.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Charges are pending against a woman after a near-miss accidental shooting in a Minot apartment building.
Police say the 27-year-old woman was cleaning her gun about 1 a.m. Monday and pulled the trigger, firing a round through the floor and into the apartment below.
Authorities say the bullet struck a dresser near where a man was sitting. He wasn’t hurt.
The woman was arrested on a reckless endangerment charge. Formal charges were pending.
RUGBY, N.D. (AP) — A 51-year-old Towner man is accused of having sex with a female inmate at the jail in Rugby when he was working there as a cook.
Authorities allege Marcelo Lara had consensual sex with the 33-year-old female inmate in the walk-in cooler at the Heart of America Correctional Center.
The woman had been allowed to help prepare jail meals while she was incarcerated, and Lara was her supervisor.
He’s charged with sexual abuse of a ward. The felony carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.
The Minot Daily News reports Lara made his initial court appearance on March 29 and is due back in court April 23. Court documents do not list an attorney for him.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A recent report says job openings are booming in central North Dakota and the Bakken oil patch.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Job Service North Dakota released its regional report last week. The report found job openings in Divide, McKenzie and Williams counties were at their highest level last month since July 2015.
Cindy Sanford of Williston Job Service North Dakota says the three counties have a significant need for health care professionals and teachers.
She says the oilfield also needs more operators for hydraulic fracturing, pipelines, truck driving and drones. Sanford says they’re looking for people with experience and clean driving records.
She says Bakken-area job openings have steadily increased since fall. Sanford anticipates the trend to continue as construction projects move forward once the weather warms next month.
OXBOW, N.D. (AP) — A Canadian man escaped injury when the semitrailer he was driving caught fire on Interstate 29 in southeastern North Dakota’s Cass County.

The trailer was loaded with produce. The flames engulfed the rear half of the trailer before firefighters from Horace arrived and put them out.
The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately determined.
