May 24: Police officer was dispatched to an address on 5th Ave. NE, in response to a request from Fort Totten PD and Bureau of Indian Affairs, who called to ask for assistance to determine if a white GMC Acadia vehicle was at a certain residence, which was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run involving a pedestrian on the Spirit Lake Reservation. A search warrant was sought by the DLPD officer; also present at the scene were law enforcement officers from BIA, Benson County Sheriff’s Office and the North Dakota Highway Patrol. Search warrant was executed, and the vehicle was located. BIA and the other entities continued their part of the investigation involving the incident on the reservation.
Antone Ebach, a 39-year-old male suspect, was present at the scene, in the residence inside a closet, and was not supposed to be at the location as a court order had forbidden him from being at the residence or having contact with an adult female living there. Ebach was placed under arrest, charged with violating a court order prohibiting contact; the complaint will be addressed through the State’s Attorney’s Office.
