DILWORTH, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) – A Moorhead woman faces a felony charge after a stolen iPhone valued at $1,900 was recovered from a recycling kiosk inside the Dilworth Walmart.

Adrianna Nicole Lamantia, 36, of Moorhead, is charged with receiving stolen property following an investigation by the Dilworth Police Department.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Clay County District Court, the case began with a phone reported stolen in Fargo.

Stolen iPhone Tracked to Dilworth Walmart

On June 23, 2026, Dilworth police received a report about a stolen cellphone transmitting its location from an ecoATM kiosk.

The machine was located inside the Walmart Supercenter at 415 34th Street North in Dilworth.

The phone’s owner told authorities that her device had disappeared in Fargo the previous day.

According to the complaint, the owner had set the phone down for a few minutes before discovering it was missing.

The device was identified as an Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, valued at approximately $1,900.

Police recovered the phone from the ecoATM machine during their investigation.

Identification and Photo Lead to Suspect

Investigators examined information associated with the cellphone transaction.

According to court documents, the person who sold the stolen phone to the kiosk provided identification belonging to Lamantia.

The machine also captured a photograph during the sale.

The complaint states that the person photographed appeared to match the identification provided during the transaction.

Records indicated the phone was sold to the machine on or about June 23, 2026.

Those findings became part of the evidence supporting the receiving stolen property charge.

Felony Charge Filed in Clay County

Prosecutors charged Lamantia with one felony count of receiving stolen property under Minnesota Statute 609.53.

The law prohibits knowingly receiving, possessing, transferring, buying, or concealing stolen property.

The complaint alleges that Lamantia knew or had reason to know the iPhone was stolen.

Because the device was valued at more than $1,000, the charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

The complaint does not accuse Lamantia of personally stealing the phone in Fargo.

Case Filed in Clay County Court

The case is filed in Minnesota’s Seventh Judicial District under court file number 14-CR-26-3494.

A summons is listed on the criminal complaint.

The allegations have not been proven in court. Lamantia is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
