BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Prosecutors have filed new charges against a Montana woman who once was accused of exploiting her mentally impaired 85-year-old uncle in North Dakota and helping kidnap him.
Sixty-eight-year-old Sandra Potter, of Worden, Montana, faces four counts of exploiting a vulnerable adult. An arrest warrant was issued for her late last week.
Sandra Potter and Thomas Potter, nephew of Robert Gross, were accused a year ago of keeping Gross in deplorable living conditions and getting him to sign over oil well rights. Authorities later dropped the charges for lack of evidence, but they continued to investigate.
Sandra Potter could face up to 41 years in prison if convicted on the new charges. The Associated Press requested comment from the attorney who represented her on the initial charges.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Construction of a $5.3 million fire department substation is under way in Williston.
City officials and firefighters broke ground on the site last week.
The department in the oil patch city now covers an area the size of Bismarck, which is North Dakota’s second-largest city. Bismarck has five fire stations. Williston has one.
Officials say firefighters responded to twice as many calls in 2014 as they did in 2013.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston more than tripled its number of hotel rooms over the last five years, and now the city’s Convention and Visitors Bureau is working to keep them full.
Williston had six hotels before January 2010. Now, the city is home to 23 hotel properties, and on average, about 55 percent of their 2,100 rooms are occupied. That figure doesn’t include the 500 rooms available just outside city limits.
Bureau director Amy Krueger says hotels have lower occupancy during the weekend and winter months, but the limited amount of meeting space available in the city makes it difficult to attract conventions whose attendees would fill those rooms.
Krueger says even a small convention center would allow Williston to be competitive as a site for state and regional conventions.
BOWBELLS, N.D. (AP) – The city of Bowbells in northwestern North Dakota is looking for public and private donations to buy a new ambulance.
The city’s existing ambulance is 16 years old. A new one costs between $200,000 and $250,000.
Dan Folske is president of the Bowbells Ambulance Association. He says the group will be applying for grants, but needs all the help it can get.
Folske says he hopes the funding campaign will also draw attention to how challenging it is for the city to find people to staff the fire house and drive the ambulance.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns as the Green Bay Packers outlasted the Seattle Seahawks for a 27-17 win Sunday night.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – The chief of the U.N. nuclear agency says that while it agreed to have Iranian experts take samples for signs Tehran worked on nuclear weapons, the probe still meets strict agency standards.
