Three leaders of the San Pasqual Band Of Mission Indians have been placed on administrative leave after being served with recall papers.

Chairman Allen Lawson, Secretary-Treasurer Angela Martinez-McNeal and Councilman Dave Toler were locked out of the tribal office on Thursday. Tribal members began gathering at the building and some staged a sit-in.

The recall fight centers over the addition of 212 people to the tribal rolls. Lawson, Martinez-McNeal and Toler are reportedly opposed to increasing the rolls. The tribe currently has about 300 members.
