ARAPAHOE, WY – Charles Edward Wallowingbull Jr., 35, stands accused of a vicious assault involving strangulation. The Arapahoe man appeared in federal court June 5, 2023, entering a not guilty plea to the charge. The feds allege a brutal attack, and the case is now slated for trial, promising a grim showdown in the courtroom.
The trial is scheduled for August 7, 2023. If convicted on all counts, Wallowingbull faces a decade behind bars, followed by three years of supervised release. Beyond imprisonment, he could be hit with a hefty $250,000 fine and a $100 special assessment – a significant financial blow on top of potential loss of freedom.
The investigation is a joint effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, indicating the case likely involves jurisdictional complexities tied to tribal lands. These agencies are working to build a solid case against Wallowingbull, gathering evidence that paints a clear picture of the alleged assault. Sources close to the investigation suggest the victim suffered significant trauma.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy W. Gist is leading the prosecution, tasked with convincing a jury of Wallowingbull’s guilt. Gist is a seasoned prosecutor with a reputation for aggressive courtroom tactics and a keen eye for detail. He’ll need all his skill to navigate what promises to be a contentious trial.
Case number 23-CR-00077 is a stark reminder that violence lurks even in seemingly quiet corners of the country. While an indictment represents a formal accusation, it is crucial to remember that Wallowingbull is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of proof rests squarely on the shoulders of federal prosecutors.
Grimy Times will continue to follow this case closely, providing updates as the trial progresses. We’ll be in the courtroom, reporting the facts and holding those responsible accountable.
