JAY â Father and son murder suspects who the Cherokee Nationâs top marshal says were âprematurelyâ released by a state district judge in March were apprehended by the tribe days later, officials said.
The suspects, Dakota Buzzard and his father, James Buzzard, had been incarcerated in Delaware County on charges stemming from a 2019 murder within the boundaries of the CN.
âIâm incredibly proud of our Cherokee Nation Marshal Service for their outstanding work in this case,â Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. said in a statement, âand proud of the reputation the Nation continues to build following the historic McGirt decision.â
