Winnebago man sentenced for assaulting federal officer

Bryson Smith, 33, of Winnebago, Nebraska, was sentenced to 24 months in prison for assault on a federal officer, according to a federal court in Omaha, Nebraska.

On June 2023, Smith came into contact with law enforcement on the Winnebago Indian Reservation while heavily intoxicated. Smith resisted two officers’ attempts to arrest and transport him for medical care by kicking, biting, and scratching at the officers.
