According to court documents, Manywhitehorses assaulted Jeffrey Dezort, 20, in a woman’s vehicle. Once the fight ended, the woman attempted to start her truck and leave the scene, but her truck wouldn’t start.

She told officers that when the suspects realized she was trying to leave, they pulled out handguns and pointed them at her.

She told officers that Glenmore was standing next to the driver’s side mirror with a black gun that had a blue laser.

The woman was able to start her truck and the three suspects left in another vehicle that the woman followed in an attempt to get a license plate number, according to court documents.

Dezort pled guilty to felony criminal endangerment in June 2025 for his role in a January 2025 robbery, during which he was with Charles Jackson at the Holiday Casino on Central Avenue West when they assaulted a man whose wallet fell out and Dezort took the victim’s money, according to court records and statements made in court.

Two occupants, believed to be Glenmore and Manywhitehorses, exit the passenger side of their vehicle and appear to strike the woman’s vehicle at the driver’s side door and at the driver’s side of the windshield and appears to have a firearm in his hand while doing so, according to court documents.
