(AP) — Law enforcement officials in east-central Wyoming say they're seeing more crimes committed by workers newly arrived to the area's booming oil fields and don't have enough police and jail space to handle the problem. The increase is nothing like the violent crime that spiked in North Dakota communities after oil production in the Bakken field surged several years ago.

Many people Schmidt arrests already have felony convictions, ranging from a fourth domestic battery to multiple DUI arrests.
