FARGO (KFGO KVRR) – A former assistant Moorhead fire chief involved in a crash last November that seriously hurt a woman has changed her plea to guilty to driving under the influence and been sentenced.
Kayla Cross entered the plea to the misdemeanor in Cass County District Court on May 9. She was ordered to pay a $500 fine. A 30-day jail sentence was suspended.
A West Fargo Police report said the woman was taken by ambulance to Sanford Medical Center with “serious injuries.” Cross, who was not hurt, was arrested and charged with DUI refusal but was not taken to jail.
She is chief of the volunteer fire department in Mapleton, North Dakota.
Mayor Andrew Draeger had said they are waiting for Cross’s court case to be resolved before any action is considered.
