Wolf Point fire chief charged with felony theft in tribal court

Wolf Point Fire Chief Clint Bushman has been charged with felony theft in the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes Tribal Court, according to reporting by the Daily Montanan. During a February city council meeting, Wolf Point Mayor Chris Dschaak said Bushman had been placed on administrative leave. According to court documents cited by the Daily Montanan, at the end of 2025, Dschaak discovered missing funds from a Volunteer Ball Association account, a nonprofit fund separate from city and county fire department budgets. 

The Daily Montanan reported that Dschaak identified about $120,000 in suspicious transactions, including $40,000 in cash withdrawals and $20,000 in Amazon purchases that were not approved by association members. The information was provided to the Roosevelt County Sheriff’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Fort Peck Tribes Department of Law and Justice. Felony theft in tribal court carries a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment, a $5,000 fine or both, according to the Daily Montanan.
