Idaho state troopers can arrest American Indians on highways where they cross reservation land without violating a tribe’s sovereignty, according to a recent Idaho Court of Appeals opinion.
The case stems from the February 2007 drunken-driving arrest of Jake Beasley, a member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribes, on U.S. Interstate 15 on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation.
