The arrest of former Clallam County Drug Court Coordinator Johnny Watts was the first domino in a two-day, multi-agency sweep that led investigators straight to the doors of the 7 Cedars Casino in Sequim.
SOVEREIGN STATUS ENABLES TRIBES TO BE ABOVE US LAWS
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is now banned from entering nearly 20% of her state after two more tribes banished her this week over comments she made earlier this year about tribal leaders benefitting from drug cartels.
The Yankton Sioux Tribe voted Friday to ban Noem from their land in southeastern South Dakota just a few days after the Sisseton-Wahpeton Ovate tribe took the same action. The Oglala, Rosebud, Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Sioux tribes had already taken action to keep her off their reservations. Three other tribes haven't yet banned her.
Noem reinforced the divisions between the tribes and the rest of the state in March when she said publicly that tribal leaders were catering to drug cartels on their reservations while neglecting the needs of children and the poor.
Several years ago, I listened to a podcast where it was discovered a casino (in N.C) was money laundering. JTKT is an entity to its own. Who'd ever suspect it.
Will we see this story in the PDN? Clallam County needs to fund OPNET, not NGOs
It's not a far stretch to imagine this goes much deeper, just look at the Blackfeet Nation cartel troubles https://youtu.be/2sPCy-EdJQk?si=1oPCK3cO13M5FI5U

Holy smokes!
My sneaking suspicion is this will come back to bite the casino. It's a casino so how did they not have a clue?

How did Marsh-Backs manage to post his bail, and is his new booking with very high bail for new charges, or???
Is anyone investigating the Danny Kendrick murder, or are they just going to wait years for the state crime lab?
