THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2002 Some Tohono O'odham Nation officials have asked Chairman Edward Manuel to resign because of his recent arrest for allegedly soliciting an undercover police officer for prostitution, The Arizona Daily Star reports. Three of the Arizona tribe's 11 district councils have passed resolutions calling for Manuel to step down. Others are considering, the paper says. Manuel says the district leaders are political rivals and that he will be cleared of the charges. He was arrested October 17 for solicitation but news of the incident, which was apparently videotaped by a local television station as part of a sting, was not made public until a month later.
