For Tulalip 22-year-old, a life gone haywire after Oregon standoff
Originally published March 4, 2016 at 8:40 pm Updated March 7, 2016 at 3:20 pm
The youngest of the 25 people indicted after the takeover of the Oregon wildlife refuge lives on the Tulalip Reservation with his girlfriend and infant. They were planning to marry, then he would join the Army. But he was arrested instead. Their lives have gone haywire.
TULALIP RESERVATION — It was about 10 in the morning when law-enforcement vehicles pulled up to the modest home where Eric Lee Flores, his girlfriend and their 6-month-old baby daughter were staying.
There were three to five cars, at least one tribal police vehicle, and maybe three unmarked cars with FBI agents. It’s hard to keep an exact count when things heat up.
Flores’ monthlong adventure into the world of self-described patriots had come to a discomfiting end on Feb. 11.
Of the 25 people indicted in all, each faces up to six years in prison on charges of conspiracy to impede federal employees from performing their duties. It’s unclear all the charges they will face because the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland has stated that it plans to file a new indictment that could include additional charges..
This is pretty sad really. If he thought he was playing cowboys and Indians, he shouldn't be surprised that he was hoodwinked by a bunch of lying domestic terrorists.
What did any of them think was going to happen?
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
