Man faces criminal charges for trying to divert Shingle Springs mail

A California man has been indicted in federal court for trying to divert mail going to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians.

Cesar Caballero, 41, is charged with three misdemeanor counts of mail obstruction. He allegedly filed out change of address forms to redirect mail from the tribe's post office box to his home.

Caballero has been feuding with the tribe for years. He claims the current membership of the Shingle Springs Band does not descend from the historic tribe.

The tribe sued Caballero in federal court after he tried to register the "Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians" as a business name.
