An Oneida Nation official is disputing a local city's attempt to prosecute him in city court.

Clint Hill, a men's council member, is accused of harassing two tribal members. The incident occurred on tribal land and a tribal court acquitted him of charges.

At issue is whether trying Hill in city court constitutes double jeopardy. If so, he cannot be tried again. There is also a jurisdictional question.
