The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan is looking for a man in connection with an alleged assault at one of its casinos.

On August 19, a woman said she was drugged, kidnapped and assaulted at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort. She had been at the facility for a Toby Keith concert when she went missing for a few hours.

"The security at Soaring Eagle as well as the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police were out looking for me as were my family," the woman said in a post that has been widely disseminated on Facebook. "Thank goodness I was found, and got immediate medical attention. I am still recovering, and it will be a long process both physically and mentally."
