    DUAL DEPUTIZATION ISSUE PAPER KameKona opposes Dual Deputization http://thelocalcrank.blogspot.c om/2008/02/righting-wrong.html   ISSUE PAPER Tribal Member Opposed: EHB 2476 DATE: 24 FEB 2008 FROM: Miss Ronni KameKona (Tribal name: Ronni Kona (TO 584), Post Office Box 175, Everett WA 98206-0175, Email: missronnikamekona@hotmail.com, Phone: 360.659.4416 (VM) 503.856.8548 SUBJECT: EHB 2476 - Authorizing tribal police officers to act as general authority Washington state peace officers. I am a Tulalip Tribal Member, an Honorable Discharge from RA Headquarters Detachment USAEUR, and Criminal Justice Department employee with the (TDCJ), Texas Department of Criminal Justice. I requested “separation” form TDCJ to attend the Criminal Justice Department program located at Everett Community College and am nearing the end of this program. While separated I am not an active employee. My family has lived on my reservation for over several hundred years that we know of, long before it became the “Tulalip Indian Reservation,” and I am a direct descendant of the aboriginal landlords of this region. My great grandmother and her sister are the two women that my tribe “basis” the current “Indian Language” program on. My father arranged for her to be interviewed and recorded through a college program back in the 1960’s through to her eventual passing in 1968, she is Elizabeth (Lizzy) Krise. I am ¼ Hawai’ian, and ¼ Tulalip Indian and ½ German. My father has been a member of the board of directors on and off most of my adult life. I am speaking on behalf of my family and speaking on behalf of the “over” 188 people who have been contending with Tribal Corruption to the point they voted “yes” to our Internal Affairs resolution through the General Council vote. Issues: 1.) Misinformation: Representative John McCoy (D) 38th District—Tulalip, spoke at the Senate Judiciary Committee about one (1) experience with the County “911” system after which he claimed that “non-tribal homes” (at Tulalip), had their phones “mapped” and that “911” calls placed from these numbers were automatically routed to the Snohomish County dispatch. Further he said that tribal member homes were mapped and calls from these numbers were routed to tribal police dispatch. And he said: “So when we dial 911, it goes to the appropriate agency.” This is not accurate; instead, we as tribal members dial the “direct” telephone number of the Tulalip Police department, a 10 digit number 360.651.4608, as we would call to speak with any other person we dial on a domestic level. There was no “mapping” and this seems a form of “embellishment” to appear “more than” we are out here. The call destination of my 911 location is: SNOPAC. The 911 call from any “tribal’ dwelling does “NOT” go directly to “Tulalip Tribal Police department,” as McCoy stated. Instead, we have our own ‘direct’ line telephone number: 360.651.4608 and out of ‘courtesy’ when SNOPAC receives “911” (tribal)-calls pertaining to Tulalip emergency issues, they sift through what they hear from the caller, and determine what course of action needs to unfold. If we call 911 and it is any sort of issue involving only Tribal people, we are instructed to call the tribal police number: 360.651.4608 (or) the call is placed for them on their behalf, depending upon the specific situation. It is a case by case matter. To not mention this information “accurately;” as I have done so today—I feel is totally misleading. Further, the entire communication on the “911 topic is irrelevant and inaccurate toward the scope EHB 2476 in any case. 2.) Uncooperative Tribal Police personnel: There is already an “agreement” in place with the Snohomish county Sheriff that is effective and that the Tulalip Tribal Police, (a specific cluster of them), are negligent in their duties to use. This “in place” agreement, policy and procedure “is” and “has been” used by the Sheriff on a regular basis and without a problem. There are a cluster of Tribal employees (police and detectives) who have proven to be uncooperative with the “in place” process. [Example involving Detective Santos “attached”]. Representative McCoy’s entire story and example, is to convey a need for Tulalip Police to “gain more power and authority” than they have currently. Instead, it is truer than not, the Sheriff’s Deputies and employees DO follow policy and procedure and do a fine job. With simple investigative inquiry this can be substantiated. Further it is true, that the Sheriff’s office does perform their duties within the scope of their authority for all non-tribal persons “living inside my reservation territory,” the Sheriff does indeed work with the Tulalip police when the situation requires it of them. The Sheriff is fully capable of handling their calls within the margin of their laws without violating the rights of Tulalip Indians and they have done so with no negative issues during the entire time the Tulalip police department has been in existence. There is no evidence to the contrary. BACKGROUND: When Tulalip Tribal police arrive on a scene with both non-tribal persons mixed with tribal persons, the procedure to follow is a “very simple” process by which the Tribal police, must get on their lapel-microphone, or other means of communication and dispatch through 911[SNOPAC], to North Precinct (Snohomish County Sheriff). At all times; when Snohomish County Sheriff’s are called, they “do” respond. On 24 February 2008, I dialed 911, at around 14:09 hours, I spoke with the 911 SNOPAC “emergency line dispatcher” {a male individual} who in turn explained that I needed to “tell him the nature of my phone call.” On my end—I asked for the North Princint knowing that they cover my dwelling site (for non-tribal persons). Within seconds, a Snohomish County Sheriff employee returned my call. When “anyone” calls 911, the procedure boils down to two outcomes: one outcome is for the “non-tribal” individuals, and at the time of the initial call, SNOPAC or the actual (Deputy) Sheriff determine the level of involvement they will employ. The other outcome would be the procedure followed for the tribal individuals who call in about “tribal on tribal crime.” CONSEQUENCE: To approve a “Bill” which enhances the authority of my current tribal police and their authoritative supervisory three person “services committee,” serving as Board members, is based “partially” on irrelevant and incorrect, testimony provided by those specific “supporters” of the Bill. To approve this “Bill” would further be lax, and irresponsible without first verifying the “accuracy” of the testimony offered. RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT APPROVE BILL (EHB 2476) 1.) Allow a specific measure of time for those of us who “oppose” the Bill to refute the current testimony, on this “issue” and numerous other issues that were put before you couched inside this Bill. 2.) Become more fully informed before you pass this Bill, of the MANY problems we face here at Tulalip with the existing tribal police force. It would be a mistake to allow the existing tribal police force to “gain” extra legal muscle—especially when the existing corruption within the police force out here has not been addressed. 3.) Further, insist the Tulalip Tribes supply you a report which proves the Tulalip Tribal Police “first responders,” called the Snohomish County Sheriff to the scene, each time there were “known” non-tribal person(s) present during all calls involving people in possession of: Stolen Items (federal, state and domestic stolen items), narcotics (especially but not included; Meth), paraphernalia of every sort, and other sorts of “crimes in progress” situations and circumstances. It behooves you to “match the information in this report offered to you from the Tulalip Tribal Police department with the 911 (or non-emergency line) calls to the Sheriff’s department on that end. Fulfilling this recommendation item will prove that there is a sturdy correlation between the “problems” we have out here at Tulalip involving my tribe becoming a “host site” for every sort of corrupt criminal dweller(s) in our green-belts and shacks and so forth; as presented by the tribal police chiefs in the hearing. Again, it is my feeling; and one that can be easily proved/or/disproved, by demanding the Tribal Police department, provide this sort of a report. It is true that the non-tribal criminal presence is the direct result of several Tulalip Tribal officers and a few Tulalip Tribal detectives abuse of the law. These Tribal personnel have engaged in abuse of the law, on a number of levels. The failure to notify the Sheriff on a number of occasions so the Sheriff can come into a state of awareness that they need to be “on site” and take into custody those (non-tribal) criminals is a classic example of Tulalip Tribal employees (who do this), and their non-compliance with in place agreements. I have witnessed this going on “first hand” between the years of 2004 through 2008. This sent the message to the criminals they have a host-site where-in-which they can commit crimes at random both “on and off” my Indian Reservation, and will not be confronted by their authoritative agency; for non-tribal people on my reservation—this is the Snohomish County Sheriff’s office. I recommend you become “fully” informed behind the current Corruption at my Tribal leadership level, and learn about the corruption that has been unfolding within the Tulalip Tribal Police department; (pre-Scott Smith)—whom, “and I say again,” just took office—and whom is not fully informed his own self. Therefore; I recommend the bill be disapproved, but instead, some new demand be put on The Tulalip Tribal police employees who are first responders to spend a few years implementing the process which requires of them to: “Call the Sheriff to the scene” where all “non-tribal” individuals are present and possibly involved in “crimes” in progress. The Sheriff obviously will not show up, when no tribal police individual “contacts” the Sheriff to do so as the first responder. Unless the Sheriff has some psychic department they cannot know to be present without first being called through SNOPAC. Pure and simple. There is no NEED to cross deputize Tribal police, instead, the greatest need is to clean up the existing Tribal corruption, and a good start in that direction is to demand the Tulalip Tribal police personnel to notify the Sheriff with “all” cross involvement of NON-tribal and Tribal persons involved in possible criminal conduct. This HAS NOT come to pass on a number of occasions and during the window of time from between 2004 and now. Our problem at Tulalip, among many other problems here, is zero accountability for the harm specific employees at the board level, and further at the level of the Tulalip Tribal police, have manifested under Goss’s Tribal Police leadership and although he has resigned, and many of us are happy he did, because there has been no “fair and just” complaint process in place for the victims of this corruption within my Tribal Body, the ramifications of these problems are still unfolding today. To give greater authority is not only dangerous, at this time, but would further erode what little is left of our judiciary integrity. With the Washington State criminal justice budget already strapped, and also on the Snohomish County level, it is good strategy to avoid involvement with any TRIBE in the state of Washington that cannot adequately support judiciary integrity. Two Step Complaint Process Step 1: My Tulalip Tribal Police station has had all along and even now; “A Circular,” two step complaint process to report wrongful conduct against police officers out here. By example, I endeavored to report Detective Santos, a Tulalip Tribal Employee, for a variety of different forms of wrongful conduct during the course of a specific case, to include but not limited to: Falsifying a Police report. During my experience of bringing this employee to justice I found myself stuck with my first option: To go to the Tulalip Tribal Police and report the offense. I did. I did and was referred by Goss to speak with the Detective I was reporting: Detective Santos. I found this was not an “effective” method. I soon realized this explained why under Goss’s leadership there is such a “wonderful track record” of few Tulalip Tribal Police employees being brought up on charges to be investigated, and further it supports the problem reported to me by people living in fear that they were “plucked” to be scapegoats to build the appearance of an active complaint process and themselves falsely charged based upon “false” reports. The “clean” and “honest” Tribal Police person of integrity that was chosen to fill this scapegoat mission himself had no where to turn either but the same two step process I confronted to defend his dignity and integrity. Step 2: The next course of action I could take in this two step process was to report to the Services Committee which consists of a three person panel; “all three” are simultaneously serving as well on the: Board of Directors. [A serious conflict of interest] but, I filled out the proper “visit the board” form, in this case on or about the board meeting of 24July2007. (Same board person’s still at those board seats now). I handed it in, and on or about the 24th of July 2007, I attended the Board meeting to report the same problem that I reported in step one (1). I hoped to confront the other issues as well. I was ordered by Board Chairman: Melvin Sheldon, to “remain off record” against my demand to “go on record,” and I demanded to go “on record” numerous times during the episode. Each time I was refused, and finally Melvin ordered me to present my case “off record; or not at all.” I; therefore, did present part of the problem, and with the topic start of “Santos” falsifying police reports. At which time “all the board members,” one by one, from my far most right—yielded the floor, to their neighbor at their right…. All the way down to the last board member whom was sitting to the most left of the seats they held facing me, as I viewed them, and this man was: Tulalip Tribal Police employee, an unqualified, and untrained and from what I understand: uncertified “pistol carrying,” Tulalip Tribal police person Marlin Fryeburg. They said they yielded the floor to him to “address my concerns” because he was the only one “serving on the board of directors with any police experience. I waited for him to speak. He introduced himself to me, and explained he had “appointed himself with the board’s approval to be the “acting Chief of Police” because Goss’s retirement party was at hand, and that I had to speak with him in that capacity. I spoke again about the false report that Santos wrote and a fast reply came back culminating in Marlin letting me know he thought I was having an emotional time and in a couple weeks I will feel better. Melvin Sheldon chimed in and told me he felt my faith in the Tulalip Tribal Police department seemed to be shattered and suggested firmly that I “join some volunteer committees to restore my faith in the wonderful police department” he thinks we have. I firmly demanded that the “case number” in which false charges by Santos were lodged be read into my Tribal Record for correction “at least” and after a brief chat with “legal council” Melvin agreed to allow for that, I brought my investigation binder up, handed it to him, he looked at it, he read the numbers into the record with the correction I demanded be made on one small point “at least.” After that, I was dismissed. I left. I found this was not an “effective” method. Internal Affairs Unit: I decided this two fold method was worthless. Therefore, I went to the coordinator of the Criminal Justice Department (EvCC) and a few college Professors (Criminal Justice Employees at EvCC) for input and advice on an “academic” level “in passing” and they suggested it might be a good idea to learn about establishing an Internal Affairs. This was the onset of my efforts to spearhead the movement forward to do just that. I spoke with a former Board Member with over 12 years Board experience and he joined with another of our tribal members with experience in leadership and Security, and very literally begged him to help solve this well known tribal problem by establishing an Internal Affairs process that might put an end to this corrupt process we have contended with the full six (6) or so years that the Tulalip Tribal police department has been at my Tribe. Soon, these two men developed a properly formatted Resolution for this venue, and spoke with a few hundred of my Tribal General Council, received feedback about the Resolution and they made modifications that met the approval of our General Council. This Resolution was submitted by us to the Tribal Paper so that it would go out in a mailing plenty of time before 20 October 2007; General Council meeting providing plenty of time for many more tribal people to read and take time to talk about it together. This happened. When the vote came about, 20 October 07 we, “our Tulalip Tribal General Council” won. During the “win” Melvin Sheldon and Marlin Fryeburg at the board level disapproved the resolution. The best way for you to see what happened is to take the time; “before you consider passing this Bill of yours,” to insist the Tulalip Tribal Board of Directors; (Services Committee) that oversees the Tulalip Tribal Police, to present a copy of this 20 October 2007 (recorded) gathering. I would be excited for you to hear the “resistance” against our Resolution from the Board exactly as it happened. You will find strong “opposition” to our General Council demand for an Internal Affairs and might be fully convinced after you examine what Marlin Fryeburg & Tony Hatch (Two Board of Director members {then and now}) had to say, that it would be best to avoid passing the Bill in question for the next decade. After you receive the copy of this General Council vote time, you will hear the voice of my people as spoken over the microphone, and find out that many of my people have found this two-step process to be worthless on even the most superficial and basic levels to investigate complaints of police employee misconduct. Evidence of current-Board Incompetence: On October 20, 2007 at the Semi-Annual General Council meeting, the Tulalip Indian People voted affirmatively to create a Police Commission within 30 days of the vote being ratified by the Board of Directors. Over 120 days have no expired with no evidence the Current Board complied. We refused to accept this non-compliance with the wishes of the Tulalip Indian General Council. We recently met with the Board of Directors to request that they hold an election of the Police Commissioners and asked for a public response to our request. We requested this in front of the Judges and Attorney’s representing our Tulalip Indian people in judicial matters. Present to “witness” our verbal and written confrontation to the Board: Tulalip Tribal Judges: Honorable Judge Bass and Honorable Judge Poly, Ron J. Whitner, (Judge) and Assistant Professor, Assistant Director of Native American Law Center at the UW School of Law, Seattle, The Executive Director of the Northwest Intertribal Court System, Dan Kamkoff, various other police personnel, Mike Taylor (Tribal Attorney and his staff), the Court staff {to name a few professionals present who can witness the validity of my testimony on this topic}. To date, my current Tribal Board of Directors has not responded to our General Council motion. By Tulalip Tribal Constitution this current board is “compelled” by their oath of office as our Board of Directors to comply with our Tribal constitution and this requires this Board to comply with our General Council motions as we pass them on the General Council floor. To date (26FEB08) there is evidence this current Board of Directors is violating their oath of office to provide remedy to the General Council Mandate and hold an election of the three (3) person Police Commissioners per General Council directive and I must encourage you to not only scour my testimony for its validity but to insist upon changes within the Tulalip Tribal Police procedure for filing complaints. We already determined the current two step method; was not an “effective” method, was not effective as a tribal body and officially developed a method that we “HOPE” becomes a viable method for identifying areas of police misconduct, monitoring police relations with the public and identifying the need for new or revised policies or improved training as they arise. At present, not only are those employee performance procedures not in existence today, but if things go on as they are now there may well not be for some time to come. I urge you to consider this issue paper within the spirit of Justice and toward the goal of insisting the Tulalip Tribes of Washington state police department proves “departmental integrity” exists before you pass this or any future bills. Further, I strongly urge you to insist upon this same Tribal Police department rectifying the shattered relationship between the general public currently and the Tulalip Tribal Police department by expecting them to establish an effective community policing interaction between tribal and non-tribal inhabitants of my Indian Reservation. Consider my passionate plea to apply unfavorable consideration to the Tulalip Tribal Police department to have any greater legal authority than has already been bestowed to date, and further in the future please hear from “not only my tribal council” but from all Tribal Council’s in the State of Washington before you enact a Bill that carries serious ramifications leading to further eroding the Criminal Justice Budget on many levels for your American Citizens by leaving yourself open to frivolous and justified lawsuits as strong ramifications behind approving this or any Bill without first being fully informed. I pray this testimony; submitted through my “Issue Paper” aids you toward the goal of becoming a bit more “fully informed” to the other voices affected in negative ways if you allow this Bill to be passed.

SCOTT MOLZOF IN The Matter of WA DC Appropriate Department(s) Appropriate Civilian Attorney(s) AND Snohomish County Sheriff 911 Call Incident: S0-0932069; Deputy Sheriff Mansur Das sit ein: Deposition de bene esse COMES NOW Miss Ronni KameKona; (WA state license: ***), Tribal Name: Ronni Kona TO584, and Mr. Scott Molzof (WA state license: ****) being duly Sworn on oath, depose and says that they feared for their life enough to call Snohomish County 911 as an official call reporting the need to move Mr. Molzof from a former military comrade to begin performing in the capacity of a witness; and also to perform different billable levels of protective duties for himself and KameKona as needed. During the course of the 911 call; KameKona informed dispatch that both KameKona and Molzof have their concealed weapon’s permits and their hand pistols “at the ready” for self-defense and protection should anyone break and enter to harm them at the KameKona property located: 14th Avenue N.E. Tulalip, WA 98271. The billable protective duties embrace the scope of time between KameKona’s father’s passing of 19DEC08 on an irregular basis, escalating to near round the clock billable presence immediately upon the discovery of the passing of Miss KameKona’s brother (at the property) on 9FEB09. Culminating in the official 911 announcement on 15FEB09. FACTS I. ATTACHMENTS: All attachments to this Deposition forthcoming for all pertinent Civilian Attorneys and WA DC Departments representing Molzof/KameKona. Should be noted in item “I” here the following description of facts and events happened between 19DEC08, following Ronald Kona Sr.’s passing and through his sister’s passing: Genevieve (Kona) Williams, two days after the burial of Ronald Kona Sr. AND through the passing of Ronald Kona Sr.’s son: Ronald Kona Jr. and his subsequent funeral as well as up to the hour of Molzof/KameKona developing this Deposition. Please note that these people are the Biological Father, Brother and Aunt of KameKona. II. KameKona & Molzof’s 911 call on Feb 15, 2009 @ about 5:20PM; from 7211 14th Avenue N.E. officially announced their complete lack of faith with some of the Tulalip Tribal Police department personnel to perform law enforcement duties in a competent manner. The feeling then spills-over upon the entire Tulalip Police department operation. Mr. Molzof evoked his rights to have a Snohomish County Deputy Sheriff respond to all possible 911 calls that Mr. Molzof shall make, as an American citizen, not a Tribal member, from there-on out. KameKona/Molzof retrieved Incident number: S0-0932069, with a promise to submit this written deposition at a later time. III. Trespassing and Property theft began immediately after KameKona’s father passed away on the 19th of December 2008. The theft of property happened in rapid succession on the 2.94 acreage, the trespass and property theft evolved to breaking-in and entry on at least three (3) occasions; stealing household keys, watercraft vessel keys, vehicle keys and padlock keys, files holding registrations for vehicles, deeds, titles, birth records, files holding receipts and serial numbers for all items purchased which were all ‘at one time’ on the property AND important family files with private legal and medical information. IV. Vandalizing of property: Molzof and KameKona awoke at times to find property damage to different items. One item vandalized in particular is KameKona’s GMC JIMMY VANDALIZED: Someone took a solid sort of item (?), they cracked the windshield, broke the left and right outside rearview mirrors—resulting in their ‘dangling’ from the side of the vehicle somehow, vandalized/destroyed the bucket-seat center-glove box cup-holder counsel, broke the glove-box in front of the passenger bucket seat, broke the rear Tail-gate “lock” probably as a way to enter and destroy the items mentioned “inside” the vehicle. Removed somehow; and stole the rearview window mirror from the interior windshield. All of that damage was with the GMC Jimmy. KameKona gifted this GMC Jimmy to a resident in a different state and he began to have the vehicle worked on a little. It no longer belongs to KameKona. PAINTBALL EPISODE: Molzof and KameKona left the property to do errands, KameKona returned first on a Molzof/KameKona rendezvous return trip in their separate vehicles. KameKona pulled into her driveway (with Molzof only five minutes delayed arrival behind her), and Alonzo Roa with three men dressed in camouflage fatigues holding rifle looking weapons (later KameKona learned were paintball rifles) blocked off her driveway prohibiting her entry. KameKona immediately dialed tribal police dispatch because they had what looked like weapons and bodily and also with the vehicle, blocked the driveway. KameKona remained inside vehicle and Roa approached the driver window, KameKona rolled down the window, Roa who claimed to be KameKona’s brother’s son and named himself to be: Alonzo Roa ordered KameKona to leave. KameKona ordered him off the property and said he is trespassing. KameKona announced the Tribal Police were on the phone which she held to her ear. KameKona ordered him and the three additional people with him to move the vehicle and themselves from the driveway so KameKona could get to her home. They were half way down the driveway on the KameKona property and blocking the driveway with themselves and the vehicle/a van. KameKona drove more on the property and to the rear of the vehicle to read the license number into the telephone to the Dispatch Operator. The Roa person steadily cursed and bellowed at KameKona: Roa said: “I own this property and you can tell them that we got paintballs and there’s nothing you can do about it bitch because I told them (pointing at the other guys as he said this) to come here and use my property for practice!” (He was speaking loudly, laughingly speaking in a mocking snide sarcastic way the entire time he spoke this and other things he spoke.) He continued: “You’re gonna get it in your thick head you don’t got no say around here! You leave now or we got something in store for you that you aint gonna be able to do nothing about bitch.” KameKona kept ordering them to leave; and told his three companions that the police are on the phone and they are trespassing and they will all be arrested “as soon as the police get here.” One of the companions yelled: “What the fuck are you doing Roa I didn’t sign up for this shit!” another said: “Yah, I’m outta here man!” the other one said: “Let’s go Roa! We wanna get the fuck out of here!” As these guys were speaking they simultaneously swiftly threw their weapons inside the ‘Van’ and yelled repeatedly for Roa to get into the van. Roa kept cursing and yelling saying to KameKona: “If you stay you’re gonna pay bitch.” His friends yelled at him to “get into the fucking van and let’s go!” Roa finally threw the weapon into the back of the van and jumped into the driver seat and sped away leaving obvious tire tracks along the driveway and along the 14th Avenue N.E. paved road as he pealed out super fast. Molzof and KameKona pointed-out these tire tracks on the property; and muddy tire tracks, to the tribal police when they arrived. Roa and his three companions drove right by the approaching tribal police as they left 14th Avenue N.E. The Tribal cops ‘did’ clear the property before they let Molzof and KameKona enter it, which is a good thing. Officer W. Schakel performed his duties to this call admirably professional and in a most competent manner. Molzof was impressed with Officer Shekel’s professionalism and intends to recognize that in this Deposition. Officer Schakel further questioned Molzof/KameKona about the safety of the dwelling windows, glass door and hardwood door as well—providing suggestions on how to increase security. This and other professional actions impressed both KameKona & Molzof. KameKona/Molzof insured Officer Schakel that a professional locksmith was hired for several hundred dollars to insure ‘just that,’ Molzof and KameKona thanked Schakel for his professionalism. Officer Schakel witnessed the “paint-ball” damage on the boats, the trailer, and other things all over the KameKona property. Since then every walk on the property results with paint on the soul of shoes. Because the property area was so heavily plastered with unexploded paintballs it is impossible to walk without the souls of shoes bursting them open. Two property-asset items have paint stains and power wash did not remove it. KameKona and Molzof had to remove specific items to save them from further vandalization; theft or total destruction. Without proof (?) of what (?) nothing can be done (?). V. DAMAGE FROM BREAK-IN during the three break-in episodes damage resulted to the travel-trailer door frame and dead-bolt. The police photographed “only” the damage to the door frame. Door will no longer close at all. A ‘competent’ Tribal police officer: Officer Summerall suggested several ways to re-secure the trailer door again, however, KameKona/Molzof decided to avoid this added expense because they reasoned, due to the numerous re-break-in episodes it logically follows future ones might happen some more. Being of sound mind and refusing to ‘waste’ even more money on these offenders to include further burden of time-waste Molzof and KameKona chose to ‘try’ to get them on trespassing charges IF-ever possible, instead. VI. Threat to blockade KameKona’s driveway: Chief Smith of the Tulalip Tribal Police department did appropriately advise KameKona how to handle a threat that occurred “to blockade” the nearly “80 year old or more” ingress/egress circle driveway & driveway,” located both on and leading to KameKona’s dwelling on the property. Process of possible peaceful solution in progress. VII. Theft of Pet: On the 9th of February 2009 after the medical examiner removed KameKona’s brother’s body from her property, known to KameKona as a druggie: Tashina Kona (and Jesse Kona) stole “Nui,” whom is the pet belonging to KameKona’s brother. The pet: “Nui” is the pet of the brother but jointly cared for by Miss KameKona and the brother throughout the pet’s entire life from a several week puppy ‘forward’ to when the theft of the animal occurred on 9FEB09 in the evening. VIII. Onset of search for KameKona’s Brother: Ronald Kona Jr. (DOB 21SEP61). On the 9th of February 2009, Molzof and KameKona called Snohomish County 911 to report KameKona’s missing brother: Ronald Kona Jr. (Rocky). After a few calls to 911, Molzof directed KameKona to have the police promptly sent to the property site. Snohomish County 911-dispatch confirmed police were in-route and would help determine if a search was necessary or if the ambulance brought brother of KameKona to a hospital. Through a series of events; a Danny McKinzey, (Sister KameKona also present), found Brother of KameKona (who appeared not alive). McKinzey attempted CPR and simultaneous KameKona had contact a few times with 911 again and screamed for an ambulance immediately when the brother was found. IX. Arrival of Tribal Cops: As time and the situation progressed the sirens were heard. KameKona excitedly exclaimed for McKinzey and KameKona to run to the road and waive the police down for swifter results. They led what wound up to be “tribal-cops” to Brother of KameKona inside his dwelling. X. Ambulance and Odd-druggie crowd arrival: Simultaneous to ambulance arriving; exactly the same time, shows up approximately 25 to 30 known druggies and alcoholics who have never been invited to the KameKona property and were immediately identified at that moment as “uninvited trespassers,” arrived at the same time as the ambulance and all-at-once. Molzof/KameKona found this “oddity” evidence of “MORE” crazy-making conduct. The druggie arrival’s presence was simultaneously supported by many of the police employees on-site especially an employee named “Jirah.” These druggie people interfered with the investigation in a number of ways. All of whom Jirah allowed onto the property in what appeared to be in a welcoming and inviting posture. They broke into clusters; and one cluster plowed into the East door yelling profanities, terrorizing KameKona with threats and accusations that no human should have to endure; especially while suffering from the severe emotional trauma of losing a beloved brother. Molzof witnessed this bizarre conduct and employee Tulalip Tribal Police Dickerson seemed incapable to handle the matter (inside the home) all alone, there were just too many people who plowed through the door: KameKona thinks more than 12 (twelve) people all at once on both occasions. This bursting through the east door happened on two occasions the same evening by the same cluster of people and they did damage the door-swing by bending one or more of the hinges requiring repairs. On each break-in occasion they were immediately ordered to get out by KameKona saying they are not invited and are trespassing and interfering with an ongoing police investigation. KameKona had to write her statement in short intermittent spurts because all of the bizarre crazy-making interruptions; verbal attack and destructive commotion put abrupt end to her statement writing throughout the statement writing process. The outside employees of the Tribal Police department merely looked on at what was going on and did nothing to stop it. At the same time people were plowing through the east door of the dwelling; another smaller cluster of people from the large cluster, were knocking on the glass door. KameKona rose; approached the east door, when that cluster’s 3rd attempt to break-in was underway. KameKona ordered them to leave the property “yet again” and personally escorted the east cluster to the south end of the dwelling. KameKona ordered the cluster on the west side of the home to come out from the dark and also join the first herded cluster and ordered them all to “get the f*** off my property” to quote KameKona. East and west separate clusters moved as one joint crowd south toward driveway opening as KameKona motioned from behind the crowd, by waiving the arms, similar to herding cattle, “yelling loudly and hollering over and over to get off the property, saying they are trespassing, not invited, the police are doing an investigation and KameKona did not want them on the property.” KameKona yelled this same thing the entire time (over and over) continuously moving the clusters/crowd toward the egress/ingress driveway opening. She said this over and over again and hollered saying that “they are trespassing and will be arrested if they do not leave NOW.” Jirah, a Tulalip Tribal Police employee, proceeded to threaten KameKona with arrest if she did not stop yelling at them to leave because, he said, “they have a right to be here.” KameKona came emotionally unglued telling Jirah that, “he must have lost his mind because this is private property and they do not have a right to be on it, because I ordered them off and it is my property,” as quoted by KameKona. KameKona told the crowd to get off the property anyway regardless of the threat of arrest, and ordered them to go stand on the nearby property but get off of KameKona’s property. Some officers DID encourage the crowd to relocate to the next property and this helped KameKona feel safe enough to re-enter the dwelling again with her assigned officer Dickerson. KameKona speedily walked inside while saying out loud to all within hearing distance: “That is it! I’m calling Chief Smith because this is totally CRAZY!!! You cops need to do your f****** job, this is supposed to be an investigation and you guys are doing NOTHING!” Some officers began dialing their phone as KameKona walked away from them to go into the home. Molzof calmed KameKona down after she and Dickerson re-entered the dwelling and KameKona resumed “yet again” writing the statement: Case Number 09-347--(Tulalip Tribal Police Service Statement Form). Chief Smith made telephonic contact with KameKona and managed to promise he would put an immediate end to all of the disruptive crowd intrusions so all employees can do their job effectively and further to allow KameKona to finish the (on-site) statement writing process (among other things said by Scott Smith: Chief of Police for Tulalip Tribes). Dickerson performed his duties in an exemplary manner under the bizarre and stressful circumstances the entire time. XI. Tracy Kona: [KONATA3710F]; DOB: April 6, 1963 joined forces with Tashina Kona his niece, (whom he is very close with through Tracy’s daughter Fawn Kona)], has been threatening and intimidating Molzof and KameKona from approximately the first week of January 2009 up to and through the 26th of February 2009; and his cluster of crazily-acting druggie people also intimidated both KameKona and Molzof, in like manner, haphazardly as well from January 2009 through the first week of March 2009, sauntering around on and about the KameKona property and Tracy Kona; Alonzo Roa in ‘deep’ tones of voices have blurted out demoralizing snide remarks that Molzof and KameKona “are going to see who is in charge,” and “get what you deserve,” also laughing and mocking they repetitively spoke: “we got something in store for you,” and numerous other threats designed to inspire fear in Molzof and KameKona in an attempt to bully them off the property often ordering them to “just leave!” “Make life easy on yourself and just leave.” Tracy Kona and his cluster of between 5 and 20 or more crazy-druggie people continuously spoke demoralizing interpretations of KameKona and Molzof’s normal behavior of entering and exiting the property; their vehicles and the KameKona dwelling. XII. Names of some of the trouble making and druggie crazy-making people: Some of the crowd members names are: Tashina and Jesse Kona, Tracy Kona, Tina and David Fryberg, Lance and Tina Taylor, Ryan and Joe Taylor, Alonzo Roa, Denise—the mother of Tashina and Jesse (married 2 or three times therefore last name unknown), a smattering of other people whose names are unknown to KameKona and Molzof, however, these named people do know the other people’s names. These also trespassed upon KameKona's property 9FEB09. SUMMARY In summary; On numerous occasions between 19DEC08 and the moment this Deposition was developed by Molzof/KameKona, KameKona and Molzof called the Tribal police to report abusive and demoralizing verbal attacks against them; trespassing on numerous occasions, breaking and entering on numerous occasions, theft on numerous occasions, verbal threats to their life on numerous occasions, trespassing/threats to life/and vandalism of personal property. Molzof and KameKona have experienced, during the aforementioned events that specific employees of the Tulalip Tribal Police have failed to perform their duties to basic established standards. On a number of occasions KameKona and Molzof had to put emphasis back onto Police Chief Scott Smith, by calling him on the phone to report numerous incompetent actions with specific officers; and actions classified as dereliction of duty with specific officer’s who were supposed to be handling calls already commenced or initiated on the KameKona property. In a few trespassing events specific Tribal Police treated the offenders as though they were victims and failed to protect KameKona and Molzof’s right for public peace, police stood by while on one specific occasion the offenders Tashina and Jesse Kona trespassed on KameKona’s property—used a tool to break in and enter and did this while police were on the property because of an initial false report (by the same two at an earlier time), “something to do with photos.” In one fell swoop, Tashina and Jesse Kona lied to the police to use them to gain access onto the KameKona property, then while trespassing they broke into a trailer on the KameKona property and entered into the trailer. KameKona telephoned “yet again” Chief Smith to report the ordeal. Police employees failed to adequately and competently “control” a crowd of trespassers during the evening when KameKona’s brother was found not alive. These specific employees did not protect the entire KameKona property and land against trespassers who were ordered OFF the property by KameKona in front of the Officers. The only people “invited” inside the dwelling by KameKona was a man considered as family by Ronald Kona Sr., Daughter KameKona and son of Ronald Kona Sr. (Rocky)-or-Ron Kona Jr., his name is: Michael Hummel whom is the only person that KameKona’s brother considered his best friend and so similar to him, they both considered each other to be equal in heart, spirit and soul to kindred brothers with each other. Diane Henry is the other person who is also considered family by Ron Sr., Rocky and KameKona, Diane is an important family member (she and her family as well). Besides Diane, and Hummele (both of whom have always had and always will have an open invitation to enter and exit this property 24/7 the full length of their life), there were no other people invited. All others were trespassing. Chief of Police Scott Smith inherited former Chief of Police Goss’s corrupt employees and the overarching corrupt paradigm, and has yet to procure an absolute solution to this issue of corruption here on KameKona’s Indian Reservation. However; KameKona recognizes Chief Scott Smith’s vast number of improvements on her reservation due to the direct decisions and positive course of action(s) that were launched into effect from the onset of Chief Smith’s employment. There has been steady and ongoing upward-bound improvement under Chief Smith’s leadership from the first day of his arrival to “today,” and with specific “new” hires there is an obvious show of professionalism. Improvement has manifested with SOME former (Goss hired) tribal officers but many need yet to be fired and should have been fired instead of promotions and continued employment. Molzof and KameKona acknowledged the names of the officers as employees of the Tulalip Tribal Police department (to include Scott Smith), that they experienced ‘first hand’ to have done an exemplary job handling calls as they arose pertaining to the KameKona land site. KameKona and Molzof do hereby certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the above statements are true and correct to the best of their ability. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED as Deposition de bene esse; for use in abeyance, or for immediate purposes. Submitted into record this 20th day of March 2009 by Scott J. Molzof and Miss Ronni KameKona; (Tribal name: Ronni D. Kona TO584). NOTARY STAMPED herein on 20 March 2009, by MOLZOF & KAMEKONA
