I think his having kids may have turned his life around. I hope so, but I don't see anything that explains his disappearance in 2024. He had numerous brushes with the law, often involving alcohol, that stopped in 2020. Since then, law abiding except a warrants in 2022 for a 2020 felony misdemeaner (assault of police office) and 2018 criminal felony (possession of stolen vehicle and public intoxication) . But if he had planned to leave due to that matter, he woudln't have waited until 2024 in my opinion, so I'm not thinking it's connected.

They don’t want to deal with the call; they don’t want to deal with any call. The municipalities and the county sheriff’s offices that hand every call off, for tribal citizens, it is a way to be lazy.”
