An Oregon woman arrested in Summit County has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a multistate crime spree that police say she and her fugitive husband carried out last year. Jessica Fritts, 36, pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne, Wyo., to felony carjacking and weapons charges. Fritts was arrested Aug. 14, 2011, after officials say her husband, Roy Scott Fritts, shot and wounded a man in Wyoming, stole his car and fled across the Utah border.

The Wyoming Miners' Hospital Board is faced with too little money to deal with a growing numbers of miners registering for its medical program. The more than 7,600 current and former miners currently enrolled are taxing the system to the point that services are having to be suspended. The Miners' Hospital Board is proposing several major changes to eligibility criteria to help save money. For instance, office staff and other workers who have casual or no direct contact with the mining process would be excluded.
