He was arrested in Utah in May of 1972 for drunkenness'. His place of residence is listed as Tuba City, AZ.

20 May 1972, The Salt Lake Tribune, pg 40


Found this article from the Arizona Daily Sun that has a Navajo man named Lee Yazzie Jr. listed as a cattle rancher. Could be the same guy? Unless he had a son with the same name.

Yazzie is a fairly common Navajo last name, so I would guess that they're probably related.
