DRIGGS Last week, Teton County hosted its first in-person jury trial after more than a year of navigating the pandemic and closed courtrooms. It resulted in District Court Judge Steven Boyce declaring a mistrial and effectively dismissing the jury halfway through the two-day event.
It was also the first trial for newly elected Teton County Prosecutor Bailey Smith. But despite the seemingly disappointing setback of having to retry a felony assault case, Smith did manage to get a new charge filed based on information revealed during the proceedings. On Tuesday, she filed a felony aggravated battery charge on top of the original felony aggravated assault.

A federal lawsuit arguing that tribal members of the state’s sole Native reservation shouldn’t need state permits to fish outside the reserve’s marine boundaries was dismissed Wednesday.
Metlakatla Indian Community sued Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration last year. Lawyers for the tribe said the 1891 federal law that established the Annette Islands Reserve was intended to create a self-sustaining community and that the right to fish in waters within a day’s travel of the reserve was an essential part of that.
