Bismarck, N.D. (AP) North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm is seeking an injunction to restrict a Fargo insurance agent accused of fraud and his wife from disposing of their assets.

Larry Atkins is accused of failing to repay money that he borrowed from insurance clients. Hamm ordered Atkins to stop selling insurance in late April.

Hamm says he wants to protect assets owned by the Atkinses that could be used to repay any victims in the case.
