Fort Peck Reservation's
Twilight Zone
By Chip Tatum
October 21, 1997
Three weeks ago Blacks Ops Reporter
ran a feature story which mentioned Circle attorney Arnie
Hove's attempt to get authorities to look at official corruption in northern
Montana. The result of Hove's efforts is that the entrenched Montana criminal
cartels are now targeting Hove. Unfortunately for Hove, members of the criminal
enterprise include State and Federal officials.
Still a lot of positive news has
occurred on the Fort Peck Reservation around Hove and others working to stop
the drug corruption. News that points to the efforts of two courageous tribal
lay advocates who work with Hove, Melissa Buckles and Florence Youpee, offers great optimism.
The drug cartels have good reasons
to be after Arnie Hove. Hove has caused them some big
problems after his former client Clint Mullen came forward and identified a
Sidney lawyer as having solicited him to haul drugs from Canada to the US in
his trucking operation. When Mullen refused, Mullen and his wife were brutally
beaten outside a nightspot near Sidney at the apparent instigation of an another attorney associated with the Montana Supreme
Court Commission on Practice.
Hove and others began to realize
that something was terribly wrong in the investigation around the Mullen
beating. Witnesses were threatened and intimidated by law enforcement. But even
more surprisingly, Ray Tomalino's calls to the FBI
office in Glasgow, concerning the threats made on his daughter, a witness to
the Mullen beating, were ignored. A fact pattern is emerging on the Fort Peck
Reservation which may explain why other complaints of felony witness
intimidation were also ignored. The pattern may clarify links to a series of as
many as 56 drug related homicides in Montana linked to official corruption. The
deaths are known in Montana as "The Hi-Line Murders." Nowhere are the
awful effects of the Hi-Line murders more apparent than the Fort Peck
Reservation.
The Fort Peck Reservation was
established by executive order in 1851 for the peaceful Assiniboine Tribe who
traditionally occupied the Missouri valley lands in what is now western North
Dakota and eastern Montana. The majority Sioux population later merged with the
Assiniboine tribe after their spectacular victory over Custer at Little Big
Horn under Chief Sitting Bull. The Fort Peck Reservation runs east of Porcupine
Creek along the Missouri river, and (along the Burlington Northern
"Hi-Line" rail line) to the western North Dakota border and also
extends north toward the Canadian border. The two largest reservation towns are
county seat Wolf Point and tiny Poplar both situated on the "Hi-Line"
rail line just north of the Missouri River in far eastern Montana.
Melissa Buckles and Florence Youpee were concerned about strange things that were
happening on the reservation. The two tribal lay advocates- who work in the
tribal courts- began to ask questions about repeated accounts that tribal
police and FBI agents were involved in drug dealing. Witnesses began to come
forward with stories of beatings and intimidations of people who were speaking
out against the drug ring. The drug ring was clearly linked to the authorities.
Youpee and Buckles also began to hear from tribal members who
spoke of a series of clandestine landing strips on the northern edge of the
reservation on the Canadian border, and on the west of the reservation to the
east of Porcupine Creek near the abandoned Glasgow Air Force Base. What the
ladies did not know, as the reports first came in, was that the landing strips
and late night sightings of planes being unloaded or parachute drops of duffel
bags was that the two lay advocates may have stumbled into one of the largest
smuggling operations in world history originating from a group of corrupt FBI
agents including Florida FBI agent Terry Nelson, and a number of Colombian drug
cartels.
What the ladies stumbled onto may
also explain many of the 40+ homicides that have plagued the Fort Peck
Reservation. Deaths which are acknowledged, but for which the official
explanation sounds more like "twilight zone" rhetoric - invariably
the person "just died."
The "twilight zone"
explanations become even more astounding when juxtaposed with the documentation
of key evidence disappearing during murder and drug trials and then reappearing
in the evidence locker afterwards. Or the "twilight zone" beating of
officer Bruce Bauer by five law enforcement personnel while Bauer was being
treated at Trinity hospital in Wolf Point. An investigator, working under the
supervision of FBI agents James Wixon and Scott
Cruise, later, according to sworn depositions, intimidated two of the nurse witnesses
and tried to get them to falsely change their testimony. Or the "twilight
zone" explanations as to why FBI agent James Wixon
had recently retired to his sizable cattle ranching operation (acquired during
his tenure as a full time agent in Glasgow) and why FBI agent Scott Cruise had
been transferred out of the Glasgow office.
The "twilight zone"
riddles of the Fort Peck Reservation can be answered from an outside
perspective. I am a retired intelligence officer and I have worked for a
variety of government agencies including the CIA. During the Reagan and Bush
administrations I worked on many projects directly for the White House and the
National Security Council. During the course of my
involvement with the ultra-secret OSG-3. In 1989, I was advised
face-to-face by FBI agent Terry Nelson that he was managing a smuggling
operation into the United States in conjunction with Fabio Ochoa, a Colombian
drug lord, and a Canadian national with intelligence connections and a penchant
for smuggling tons of cocaine named Mike Huxtable.
According to Terry Nelson, the
routes of the drug shipments were from Colombia north to the Bahamas then out
into the Atlantic, doubling back west to Nova Scotia and Quebec. One airfield
used by the Huxtable smuggling operation was the
Chapeau airstrip in Quebec. From eastern Canada the drug shipments were flown
to a staging area on a property just south of Weyburn,
Saskatchewan. The drug shipments were then flown onto airstrips in or near
Sidney, Chinook, Havre and several other locations in Montana and North Dakota.
The drug operation involved the
smuggling of billions of dollars worth of heroin and cocaine into the United
States. Fabio Ochoa used the Mike Huxtable scheme
because it got around the southern air radar which was beginning to intercept
too many Cartel shipments. FBI agent Terry Nelson recruited local law
enforcement and others in Montana and North Dakota to ignore the shipments of
cocaine as they came into the United States.
But trouble developed in Chinook. A
local newsman, Mike Perry, and four law enforcement officers made reports to
the authorities that they were observing drug shipments. Mike Perry took one
sheriff's deputy to meet with then US Attorney Pete Dunbar in Billings. The
official explanation was again "twilight zone" - no evidence could be
found, and in fact, the four Chinook law enforcement officers who reported the
drug flights were all fired.
Trouble also developed in Sidney.
Dozens of witnesses reported drug flights and drug dealing by a prosecuting
attorney and police detective. Again, after the investigation "nothing was
there." It was only "rumor" or "false reports." The
same pattern existed in Havre. In each of the three smuggling towns early
unusual deaths haunted people who tried to do something about the drug
problems.
Surprisingly, FBI agents Scott
Cruise and James Wixon were continually tasked with
investigating the drug and murder allegations. Both agents operated in Glasgow where
the smuggling pilots would rest in condominiums (owned by the conspirators),
adjacent to the Glasgow Air Force Base - just eight miles west of a series of
off-the-map air strips near Porcupine Creek on Fort Peck Reservation. The two
agents couldn't find any credible evidence about drug flights or corruption.
During the next few days and weeks
further startling information will surface. Promised bank transfer
documentation may come to light that should explain much of the frustration
many individuals have had in understanding the "twilight zone" in
Montana along the Canadian border. At the same time, Melissa Buckles and
Florence Youpee have gathered a dozen new affidavits
and statements on the Fort Peck Reservation. Arnie
Hove advises that he has been followed when he returns to Circle from the
reservation. Buckles, Youpee, and Hove all are
concerned that law enforcement has circulated a false rumor that Arnie Hove is bringing "all the crystal meth onto the
reservation."
The entire reservation is listening
to the trio and something will be done. But the three should be extremely
cautious, because they are snooping around the edges of one of the largest drug
smuggling operations in world history. A drug operation which has left many
witnesses dead. There is a very real danger in the "twilight zone" on
Fort Peck Reservation. These three individuals need your support.
