Violent Crime: Federal jury convicts Redby woman for being an accessory to violent Red Lake crime

U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones announced that on Jan. 24, 2012 in federal court in Duluth, a jury found a 22-year-old Redby woman guilty of attempting to hide a suspect from federal agents. The jury convicted Jerilee Jane Head on one count of being an accessory after the fact. Head was indicted on March 8, 2011. According to the indictment and the evidence presented at trial, on Jan. 15, 2011, Head assisted her boyfriend, Donald Leigh Clark, Jr., in his attempt to allude authorities. Clark was hiding from law enforcement after being charged with the Nov. 3, 2010, killing of one man and the wounding of two others on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Clark was ultimately found hiding under a blanket in the back seat of Head's vehicle, after Head had tried but failed to lure federal agents away from the car.
