that two of the accused be held
for 24 hours under tribal code
202.335. After reviewing reports
during that time, prosecution
said, they would be prepared to
file charges the following day.
Fred Wallulatum Sr (no J.),
the alleged driver in the incident,
was released on his own recog

Bryson Sutterlee, 24, of
Warm Springs, was sentenced
last week to serve over 15
and 1/2 years in federal
prison for sexually abusing
two minor females on the
Warm Springs Reservation.
Additionally, upon release

quired to participate in a sex
offender treatment program,
he will be prohibited from
having any communication
or contact with his female
victims, and the court must
approve any contact he has
with minors. The defendant

According to statements
made in court at the sentenc
ing hearing, at the time of the
crimes, Sutterlee lived in a
Warm Springs residence. He

was under the age of 12 at
the time of the abuse; the
other victim was under the
age of 16, according to the
U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“The victims in this case
showed great courage by
coming forward and disclos
ing the defendant’s horrific
sexual abuse,” said Dwight C.
Holton, the U.S. Attorney for
the District of Oregon. “The
Warm Springs Police D e
partment did an excellent job
investigating this case, and the
Warm Springs Victim s of
Crime Services performed
admirably by supporting the
v ictim s and th eir fam ily
throughout the investigation
and prosecution of the case.”

conducted by the W arms
Springs Police Department
and the Bend office of the
Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion, and was prosecuted by
