LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nathan Chasing Horse trained his five wives to handle firearms, encouraging them to 'shoot it out' with police officers if they ever tried to 'break their family apart,' according to reports. If that failed, the 'Dancing with Wolves' actor had suggested they take "suicide pills."
Chasing Horse, 46, was arrested on Tuesday, January 31, after a months-long investigation by Las Vegas police for crimes ranging from sex trafficking to sexual assault and child abuse. He was apprehended when he was leaving the North Las Vegas home where he lives with his five wives.

Chasing Horse, best known for his performance as the young Sioux tribe member 'Smiles a Lot' in Kevin Costner's Oscar-winning picture 'Dances with Wolves,' had a reputation among tribes across the United States and Canada as a so-called medicine man who performed healing rites. Chasing Horse was also suspected of being the leader of a cult known as "The Circle," according to a 50-page search warrant.
According to the warrant, "Nathan Chasing Horse used spiritual traditions and their belief system as a tool to sexually assault young girls on numerous occasions.” The Las Vegas Police Department has identified at least six girls from Montana, South Dakota, and Nevada, where Chasing Horse has lived, as suspected sexual assault victims. According to the search warrant, some of the victims were as young as 13 at the time of the abuse.
He reportedly recorded some sexual assaults and accepted bribes from other males to arrange sexual contact with victims, according to the warrant. The former actor's wrongdoings were discovered after lawmakers and prosecutors around the country began focusing more on crimes against Indigenous women, such as murder and human trafficking. Earlier, the authorities revealed a mugshot of Chasing Horse where he wore a white T-shirt and glasses with tattoos all over his body.
