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.
