Citizens cite Soboba breach of compact
SAN JACINTO--The citizens group ‘Stand Up for California’ has joined in a call for the closure of the Soboba Casino because of recent violence on the Indian Reservation.
Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff initially asked for the casino’s closure saying his deputies could not guarantee the public’s safety.
A pair of shootouts near the casino between deputies and three tribal members last spring proved fatal to all three.
The citizens group pointed out in a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger that the tribe may have breached its gaming compact by not ensuring the safety of the public.
