As I recall it went away rather quietly; only publicized "damage" was that the senior tribal cop (of the duo on site) lost his job. Lots of denial from the senior LE back on the reservation.

That event is a perfect example of why the large insurance requirement tied to any interlocul agreement. Two adults and at least one small child held for hours at gunpoint well off any reservation. State trooper who showed up didn't take control and WDFW LE never did show.

Ultimately determined they were legal both as to WDFW regs as well as having land owner approval.
