Jamestown  (CSi)  In Southeast District Court in Jamestown Wednesday, bond  for 47 year old Betty Jo Krenz of Woodworth was set at $10,000 cash, by Judge Cherie Clark.

A condition of the bond is Krenz  is not leave the state of North Dakota.

She told the court she hoped to return to Hawaii.

Krenz is accused in connection with an alleged adoption scam,  of theft by deception of more than $1,000 but less than $10,000.  She is also accused of using personal identifying information of another person to make or attempt to make purchases of less than $1,000 and theft of one of more cans of pepper spray.

Families say Krenz used her background as a Spirit Lake social worker to produce fake adoption papers. Court documents show Krenz told one mom she was heavily involved in the Savanna Greywind case and expected to get custody of Greywind’s child.

In April this year, an arrest warrant was issued for Krenz  who told the court she had been working in Hawaii and could not take vacation until now to turn herself in.
