Rogers County Judge Dismisses Wave Of Criminal Cases Due To Tribal Jurisdiction A Rogers County judge dismissed charges Tuesday against a large number of defendants currently held in the County Jail, based on the expectation their tribal citizenship status will mean state courts do not have jurisdiction in their cases. “Nobody is getting out of jail today, but the day is coming soon when we know some will be getting out of jail, and we appreciate the Feds and the Tribes working with us, but that’s the simple reality of it,” Rogers County District Attorney Matt Ballard said. It’s not yet certain the cases will be heard in federal or tribal courts, and Ballard believes many of them will be dropped altogether.
