FIVE BANISHED FROM BLOOD RESERVE

Non-Residents Face Various Charges

Five non-tribal members - all currently facing drug-related charges - 
are facing banishment from the Blood Reserve.

In a release issued Thursday afternoon, Blood Tribe leadership said 
they have made it official to enforce an action for trespassing on 
reserve lands.

In a convened meeting, officials, through Band Council Resolutions, 
agreed to the removal of five individuals who have been charged by 
the Blood Tribe Police for allegedly trafficking drugs, as well as 
for firearm possession.

Two of them are Shoul Akayi Dang and Khawai Jany, who were both 
arrested on the Blood Reserve on Oct. 29.

Dang was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking 
fentanyl, breach of recognizance, and breach of a firearm 
prohibition. Jany was charged with possession for the purpose of 
trafficking cocaine, and possession of cannabis marijuana.

A portion of the Band Council Resolution states that "Shoul Akayi 
Dang and Khawai Jany are not authorized to be on the Blood Reserve 
and therefore are trespassers and any implied or express invitation 
to them is revoked and they are specifically banished from the Blood 
Reserve and if they, or any one of them, is found on the Blood 
Reserve they, or any one of them, will be considered to be 
trespassing on the Blood Reserve and will be prosecuted to the full 
extent of the law."

Also banished from the Blood Reserve are Shay Vincent Saddleback, 
charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, and Stacey 
Neal Saddleback and Kyle Mitchell Saddleback, charged with the 
possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Blood Tribe Police 
Service at 403737-3800, reach them at  to 
call Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-8477(TIPS), or to submit information
