BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Authorities in North Dakota are accusing a man and a woman of plotting to convince another woman to post the man’s bond to get out of jail.
The Bismarck Tribune (https://bit.ly/1hfeKkH ) reports that 28-year-old Christopher Dutchuk and 23-year-old Samantha Flemmer have been charged in connection with the scheme. Among other charges, they are facing a misdemeanor conspiracy to commit impersonating officials.
Authorities say Flemmer impersonated a law enforcement officer during a three-way conversation and told the other woman that Dutchuk had checks that he would use to pay her if she posted his $35,000 bond.
The Burleigh County Sheriff’s office says a detective uncovered the plot after reviewing recordings of telephone conversations that Dutchuk had with Flemmer and the woman while he was in the county jail on Tuesday.
