Sheriff vows to continue responding to "crime and disorder"
To the Citizens of Lake County,
As you may be aware, we are on the eve of Lake County withdrawing its consent to bear the costs of Public Law 280, a law which provides that the State, and therefore my Office, have jurisdiction over Tribal members who commit felony crimes.
Because it has been widely publicized, I will not elaborate on the historical or ongoing political environment surrounding this issue. It is my intent to inform the community that after Lake County withdraws its consent to participate in PL 280, it does not divest my office of my authority, or my obligation to ensure peace and order within our community.
