Posted: Friday, November 4, 2011
A federal judge dismissed a charge against Wesley Dick, a member of the Fallon
Paiute Shoshone Tribe who was cited for gathering cat-tails in the Stillwater National Wildlife
Refuge in Nevada.
Dick was cited for illegally gathering the plants and driving off a designated roadway,
Judge Robert A. McQuaid dismissed the first charge in August and the second charge yesterday at a hearing in which Dick represented himself.
Dick based his case on traditional gathering rights but McQuaid ruled that visitors to the refuge aren't given proper notice about the designation roadway.
