FARGO, N.D. (AP) - The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs is adding an investigator on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation after complaints over public safety.
Federal authorities say the move comes after U.S. Attorney Chris Myers from North Dakota and BIA official Charles Addington met to discuss law enforcement resources and jurisdictional issues on the reservation.
The BIA previously had one investigator on Fort Berthold.
