Vernon King, a former leader of the Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians, has settled a case stemming from a dispute that led to the closure of the tribe's casino in northern California. Vernon King, who was the treasurer of one faction of the tribe, was among 15 people arrested in connection with a clash at the Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino on October 9, 2014. He was facing a charge of trespassing but his record will be wiped clean if he does not commit any criminal offenses in the next six months, The Fresno Bee reported. The casino remains closed despite attempts by new leaders to resolve the dispute. Get the Story:
