Nofire was transported to jail and booked for driving under suspension, failure to maintain security, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, and taxes due state/improper tag.
Sgt. Frits was called to Love’s Country Store Sept. 1 due to an intoxicated man who was inside the business. The store manager said the man was sitting down and appeared to have passed out. Frits entered the store to find a passed out Dalton Poafpybitty. It took the officer several times to awake the man and when he did, Poafpybitty became irate. Frits could see a bottle of vodka in the man’s pocket. Dispatch advised Poafpybitty was wanted out of the city and Frits arrested him. The man began to yell and cause a disturbance once he was arrested. Poafpybitty was transported to jail and booked on tribal charges for public intoxication.

Watson was booked on charges for assault and vandalism.
On Sept. 2, Lt. Justin Leatherwood responded to Second Street in regard to a man who was busting out windows with a bat. Officer J.D.
