Fallis and Bautista-Dalson plead no contest to gun possession — Round Valley Indian Tribes Council calls for information about Khadijah Britton

UKIAH, CA., 10/09/18 — Negie Fallis and Antonia Bautista-Dalson, both from Covelo, pled no contest to felony charges related to Fallis’ unlawful possession of a firearm in Mendocino Superior Court today. The charges stem from an incident in February, during which Fallis was arrested and subsequently found to have been in possession of a firearm, which his girlfriend, Bautista-Dalson, helped him hide from law enforcement. In an apparently unrelated development the Round Valley Indians Tribes Council l (RVIT) has issued a statement asking for people with information about the disappearance of Khadijah Britton to come forward.

Fallis has already served time for felony child abuse, and he will face up to four years in prison. Bautista-Dalson “can be granted supervised probation with up to one year in the county jail or be sentenced to local prison for up to three years,” according to a statement from the Mendocino County District Attorney’s Office. Both Fallis and Antonia Bautista-Dalson are out on bail, and are scheduled to return for sentencing on December 4 and 11, respectively. A no contest plea is effectively equivalent to pleading guilty, but without actually admitting to guilt.
