The Confederated Warm Springs Tribes of Oregon suspended 11 police officers pending an investigation into an alleged walkout.
Two lieutenants, five sergeants, the criminal investigations supervisor and the police chief were put on leave two weeks ago. The 11 officers had voiced concerns about working conditions, outdated equipment and low pay.
Tribal superiors took the complaints as a threat. But two of the suspended employees say there was never any attempt to organize a walkout.
