Investigators say a Butler County woman took about 50-grand from a fast-food restaurant in Butler Township. Michele Krzewinski was arrested last week after allegedly adding Christopher Sweet to the payroll at the Long John Silver’s at Moraine Point Plaza. Sweet never worked a day at the restaurant, but Krzewinski would send him money while he was in prison. The 48-year-old woman was fired from Long John Silver’s this year.

Democrats lay big caucus egg: No results from Iowa election
By STEVE PEOPLES, THOMAS BEAUMONT and ALEXANDRA JAFFE Associated Press
Democratic Party officials in Iowa are working furiously to deliver the delayed results of their first-in-the-nation caucus. Frustrated presidential candidates are claiming momentum and plowing ahead in their White House quests. Technology problems and reporting “inconsistencies” kept party officials from releasing results from Monday’s caucus, the much-hyped kickoff to the 2020 primary. It was an embarrassing twist after months of promoting the contest as a chance for Democrats to find some clarity in a jumbled field with no clear front-runner. Instead, caucus day ended with no winner, no official results and many fresh questions about whether Iowa can retain its coveted “first” status. State party officials say final results will be released Tuesday.
