JAMESTOWN, ND (KFGO) – A judge has sentenced a Woodworth woman to more than four years in prison for promising to help people with adoptions.
Betty Jo Krenz took money from an Oregon couple, but never followed through with the adoption. Krenz entered guilty pleas to misdemeanor and felony theft while a third charge of misuse of identifying information was dismissed.
The sentence was far beyond what the prosecution recommended. Restitution will be determined later.
