Arrest follows lengthy altercation
People in the area of the
Plaza last Thursday afternoon
witnessed a 20-minutc standoff
between Warm Springs police
and a man from I aPinc. The in
cident also involved the man's
wife and their son.
The standoff included yell
ing, punching, running from
police, and finally the use of
pepper spray. Some of the de
tails arc very odd.
"I've never seen anything like
it before," said officer Matt
Shcrvwxxl, who responded to the
scene.
The incident began shortly
before noon on Wednesday,
Aug. 10, when police stopped
Daniel Brown, 43.
Brown was driving a red
truck. He was near The Mu
seum at Warm Springs when
police pulled him over on a re
port of reckless driving.
After questioning Brown, the
officer cited him for careless
driving, failure to maintain a traf
fic lane and driving without a
license, according to police.
Two other people in the
truck, Brown's wife Margaret
and their 16-ycar-old son, also
did not have a drivers license.
The truck belonged to an
other relative who was not
present, so the police officer
informed Brown that he would
have to call someone with a
drivers license to come and get
them.
That could have ended the
matter, but it was at this point
that the situation took an unex
pected turn.
The dispatch center began
receiving prank 91 1 calls when
ever a police car drove past the

Tamera Moody was
nominated as Young
Achiever by Wayne Miller
of the Workforce Develop

"She was hired through
us, but Kah-Nee-Ta hired
her on for her good work
ethics, " says Miller.
Moody, 16, works in the
Chinook Room at the
High Desert Resort and
Casino, where she juggles a
variety of positions, one
moment a cashier, the next
a hostess or a busser. As a
cashier she takes care of
customers' bills and
takeout orders. When she
is a hostess, she greets the
guests and seats them.
And her work as a busser
involves taking orders and
waiting on guests.
Moody doesn 't like to
stand around and be bored
- being on her feet keeps
her busy and her mind
occupied.
