On Dec. 27 tribal police officers were dispatched to the New Projects in Pine point on the report of a possible domestic assault.
Two officers eventually spoke to a woman who had a swollen upper lip. She said her domestic partner had hit her after he begin insulting her while they were drinking at their home with friends. The two started pushing and then Warren allegedly started punching her. Several of their children were home at the time, and one allegedly told officers that "mom and dad were fighting."
