Kiowa Sues Feds Over Cockfights

OKLAHOMA CITY (CN) - A member of the Kiowa tribe claims state and federal agents have no right to enter reservation lands to harass or arrest anyone "for being present at a cock-fight."

Michael Turner cites the "Treaty With the Kiowa, Comanche" of 1867 in his complaint against the Oklahoma Attorney General, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Humane Society of the United States.

Turner is represented in federal court by Corrine O'Day of Muskogee.
