United States v. Wheeler (1978)
''United States v. Wheeler'', , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held The Double Jeopardy Clause does not bar the federal prosecution of a Native American (Indian) who has already been prosecuted by the tribe.
== Background ==
In 1974 Anthony Robert Wheeler, a member of the Navajo tribe was charged with disorderly conduct. On October 18, 1974, Wheeler plead guilty to that charge and to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Wheeler was sentenced to 15 days in jail or a fine of $30 on the disorderly conduct, and 60 days in jail or a fine of $120 on the second charge.〔''United States v. Wheeler'', 435 U.S. 313, 314-15 (1978).〕
On November 19, 1975, a federal grand jury indicted Wheeler for statutory rape, based on the same incident, and Wheeler moved to quash the indictment based on double jeopardy. The United States District Court dismissed the indictment. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal, concluding that tribal courts and federal district courts were arms of the same sovereign.〔''Wheeler'', 435 U.S. at 315-16.〕
