Ethics Complaint Against Navajo President Buu Nygren Dismissed | KAFF News Extra

December 19, 2025 - An ethics complaint filed by Special Prosecutor Kyle Nayback against Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren has been dismissed by the Special Division of the Window Rock District Court for lack of jurisdiction. this means that the special division lacks the authority to hear the case against the president, according to a statement from Nayback. Nayback said that the court did not consider the charges against President Nygren and did not rule on whether he had committed the violations outlined in the charging document. Nayback's ethics complaint included several alleged violations of the Navajo Nation's ethics in government law. Nygren responded to the ruling, saying, “This decision needs to put an end to what has become a political witch hunt. It is time for all branches of government to move past these distractions and refocus our efforts and work on serving the Navajo people."

The Yavapai County Attorney’s office announced that 43-year-old Justin Noecker has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempted second-degree murder, followed by seven years of supervised probation for kidnapping in connection with the death of his unborn child. The sentencing stems from an October 2024 assault just outside of Prescott. After officers responded, the victim told authorities at that time that she had recently learned that she was about nine weeks pregnant. During a fight in the days after learning of the pregnancy, Noecker restrained the victim and repeatedly stomped on her stomach. The victim went to the hospital, but the baby did not survive. A medical records review was unable to determine if the baby’s death was due to a miscarriage before the assault or as a result of it. Noecker was charged with attempted murder because he believed that the baby was still alive at the time of the crime. And Today's Weather
