SPOKANE, Wash. — A former U.S. Forest Service crew boss was cited for possession of marijuana, just hours after he appeared in federal court on involuntary manslaughter charges in the deaths of four firefighters, the Washington State Patrol said.
The citation issued to Ellreese Daniels last Thursday may have violated conditions a judge set for his release pending trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Hopkins said Tuesday.
Scott Morse, chief federal probation officer for Eastern Washington, said he could not comment on an ongoing pretrial case.
