FBI Agent Shot Serving Warrant

This happened less than two miles away from the house. Very few details have come out so far.

I was driving on the highway just east of Lewiston Thursday afternoon and saw the LPD MRAP heading back towards town along with several LE cars. I figured they were out training. Nothing on the news later on.

Then, on Fri, Mrs BG came home and said an FBI agent had been shot just up the road from the house.

There are very few details. Apparently the FBI agent (as yet unnamed) was present with several other agencies for a search warrant to be conducted on a residence. A suspect on scene shot the agent...no details on that. The only thing the FBI is saying is that the officer suffered non-life threatening injuries and no one else was injured.

Neither the FBI nor the sheriff's department will release the name of the suspect. But, the Tribune said a man, Manuel P. Villalobos III, 42, was booked into the jail at 7:30 Thursday morning. The shooting happened around 6 am. The Tribune said court docs from a 2016 DUI arrest showed the address where the shooting took place as Villalobos' address. Villalobos was later transferred to another facility but no one will say where he was taken or why. Villalobos has a criminal history dating back several years for mostly traffic and DUI arrests.

Idaho State Police, Nez Perce Tribal Police, Nez Perce County Sheriff's Dept nor the FBI would confirm if Villalobos was the man arrested nor will they comment on charges filed on the arrested person.

I get not releasing certain details with an ongoing investigation but no one is saying anything about this incident at all. It's all very secretive. The property where this happened is located on Nez Perce tribal land. I'm guessing that might be why the FBI was involved, but that's speculation on my part.

You're sure he was shot by a suspect and not that he tried to do a back flip to impress some chicks or something?

They're just not sayin'...

Sounds like they got there man with minor injuries, and less manpower than used on Roger Stone.

Your comment on tribal land and the FBI reminded me of the book 'Killers of the Flower Moon' The Osage murders and the birth of the FBI. I'd never heard of the story. 1920's Oklahoma. Great Read.

You know if it's on tribal land the feds have the only non-local jurisdiction. Outside interdepartmental agreements. Surprised no one is an "unnamed source within the dept" putting info out.

Something is going on when 2-3 different media outlets are fed the same info. How rare is that?

I may have to check for that at the library.

Our house is on Tribal land and it (the Nez Perce reservation) encompasses several counties with their sheriff's departments. I have no idea what the agreements are between the tribe and the local LE. I have a hunch as long as tribal members aren't involved the local sheriff handles most complaints.

Roger Stone lives in a million dollar house in Fort Liquortale FL, and this guy is in a doublewide in the boonies. I can tell you which one I would be extremely cautious about approaching. And I am a 10th grade dropout.

Is it part of the allotted lands that was "allotted to individual Indians" under the Dawes Act?
Ran into that a lot (no pun intended) down by the Ute Reservation in southwest Colorado.

^^ Have no idea. It's very common here, apparently...nothing in the title paperwork to indicate anything different in regards to the location than any other house we've bought. We're not under Tribal Police jurisdiction because we're not Tribal members. If we have an issue, we call the sheriff.

It seemed odd to me initially. Then everyone I talked to thought it was odd that I thought it was odd. Just how it's done here.

Got really complicated in southwest CO. The individual Indians were allotted the land, and the mineral rights were retained by the Tribe or Nation.
The Individual Indians sold their land to anyone who could pay.
People who bought houses down there ended up having no claim to the minerals and the Southern Ute Tribe would be able to mine or drill.

Interesting.
