Lewiston Man Convicted of Assault, Sentenced to 30 Months

A Lewiston man has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in a violent assault that left a victim with serious injuries, Grimy Times has learned.

According to court documents, James Spencer, Jr., 33, of Lewiston, Idaho, intentionally struck the victim on September 27, 2012, within the boundaries of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation. The assault resulted in the victim losing two teeth.

Spencer, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe, pleaded guilty to the charge on May 27, 2014. U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge handed down the sentence, which includes three years of supervised release after Spencer serves his prison time.

Spencer was also ordered to pay $388.22 in restitution and a $100 special assessment, according to prosecutors.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Nez Perce Tribal Police. The investigation and subsequent prosecution were the result of a collaborative effort between federal and tribal law enforcement agencies.

The 30-month sentence serves as a stark reminder of the serious consequences of violent crime. Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.

Spencer’s conviction is a testament to the dedication of law enforcement agencies in Idaho and their commitment to protecting victims of violent crime.
