The Blackfeet Tribal Court has released the names of the nine people who were recently arrested on drug charges at the home of the Blackfeet Nation tribal chairman. The arrests came after the Blackfeet Nation declared a state of emergency following a series of fentanyl overdoses and deaths.

An FBI spokesperson said a search warrant was executed at Tribal Business Council Chairman Timothy Davis’ home, where eight individuals were arrested. Davis was not home, and was not taken into custody.
