Fred Dakota indicted in Marquette, Michigan
June 26, 1996

Assistant U.S. Attorney
(906) 226-2500
MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN - United States Attorney Michael
H.Dettmer announced today that a federal grand jury sitting in
Marquette, Michigan, returned a 54-count felony indictment
against Mr. Frederick S. Dakota, the Tribal Chairman of the
Keweenaw Bay Indian Community ("KBIC") in Michigan's Upper
Peninsula and Mr. Jerrold L. Polinsky, a coconspirator from
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The 63-page federal indictment alleges that Mr.
Dakota, a 59-year-old resident of Baraga, Michigan, "owed a duty
of loyalty, honesty, and integrity to the Keweenaw Bay Indian
Community." The indictment further alleges that from May 1991
through December 1993, Mr. Dakota breached his duty by
conspiring to accept over $125,000.00 in numerous payments
"intending to personally benefit and enrich himself through the
receipt of kick-backs." The indictment also charges that Mr.
Dakota underpaid his federal income taxes from 1991 through 1993
when he filed false U.S. Income Tax Returns which "he did not
believe to be true and correct . . . ."
The federal grand jury charges that Mr. Dakota's
codefendant, Mr. Jerrold L. Polinsky, a 65-year-old resident of
Atlantic City, New Jersey, conspired to pay and did unlawfully
pay Mr. Dakota for agreeing to lease video gaming machines from
the Minnesota corporation International Gaming Management,
otherwise known as "IGM." According to the indictment, Mr.
Dakota allowed "IGM" to place video gaming machines in the
Ojibwa Casino in Baraga, Michigan. The grand jury alleges that
Mr. Dakota negotiated contracts on behalf of his tribe which
required "KBIC" to pay "IGM" 35 percent of the profits generated
by the video gaming machines. According to the indictment "IGM"
would then pay money to codefendant Jerrold Polinsky through his
business, Spectrum Communications. The scheme was completed,
according to the grand jury, when Spectrum Communications would
then in turn pay Mr. Dakota his "kickbacks." Finally, Mr.
Dakota did not report as income the $125,000.00 in "kickbacks,"
according to the grand jury.
The federal indictment culminates a two-year-long
investigation of Mr. Dakota that began in July 1994 when
Minnesota federal and state authorities searched "IGM's" offices
and other locations and seized a number of documents. The
office of the United States Attorney for the Western District of
Michigan has worked closely with U.S. Attorney David L.
Lillehaug in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
U.S. Attorney Michael H. Dettmer directed that a
federal task force be formed consisting of the Office of
Inspector General for the U.S. Department of the Interior, the
Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Assistant
U.S. Attorney Judd R. Spray is handling the prosecution.
Mr. Dakota and Mr. Polinsky are each named in one
count of the indictment for conspiracy to commit an offense
against the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
This count is punishable by up to five years in federal custody
and a $250,000.00 fine.
Mr. Polinsky and Mr. Dakota are each individually
charged in 25 counts with violations of 18 U.S.C.
proscribing thefts or bribery concerning programs receiving
federal funds. These counts are each punishable by up to ten
years in federal custody and a $250,000.00 fine.
In addition Mr. Dakota is charged in 3 counts
proscribing fraud and false statements related to the filing of
U.S. income tax returns, in violation of 26 U.S.C.
These counts are each punishable by up to three years in federal
custody and a $100,000.00 fine.
Mr. Dettmer stressed that the charges in an indictment
are merely an accusation, and the defendants are presumed
innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.

corruptly give and corruptly accept things of value with intent
to influence and to be influenced and to reward defendant
FREDERICK S. DAKOTA, an agent of an Indian tribal government, in
connection with a business, transaction, and series of
transactions, that is the leasing and placement of electronic

Ojibwa Casino in violation of Title 18, United States Code,
Sections 666(a)(1)(B) and 666(a)(2).

The objects of the conspiracy were to violate the federal

unlawful means for defendants FREDERICK S. DAKOTA and JERROLD L.
POLINSKY and others known and unknown, to deprive the Keweenaw
Bay Indian Community of the loyal, honest and faithful services

OVERT ACTS
In furtherance of the conspiracy and to effect the objects
of the conspiracy, the defendants and others known and unknown
did commit the following overt acts, among others:
1. In or about May, 1991, the exact date unknown to the

DAKOTA, intending to personally benefit and enrich himself
through the receipt of kick-backs to be paid to him by defendant

generated by the video gaming machines to be leased by KBIC from
IGM, agreed that KBIC would pay 35 percent of the gross profits

IGM at or about the same time, and KBIC would receive 65 percent
of the gross profits from the machines.

gaming machines at KBIC's Ojibwa Casino on various dates unknown
to the Grand Jury between May, 1991 and October, 1993, to a
