BISMARCK – The head of North Dakota’s largest state agency is accused of conspiring to block an investigation into a child care provider whose license was expired when a 5-year-old girl under its care drowned last summer.
Department of Human Services Executive Director Marget “Maggie” Anderson, 48, was charged Friday in McHenry County District Court with conspiracy to obstruct a government function and with public servant refusing to perform a duty for allegedly allowing the facility to operate without a license and not notifying authorities.
Both are Class A misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail and $3,000 fine.
