A Bullhead man has been sentenced to 46 months in custody for Domestic Assault by a Habitual Offender, according to U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson.
Derek Archambault, 31, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann on December 30, 2013, to 46 months in custody, 3 years of Supervised Release, and a $200 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Archambault was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 17, 2013, and pleaded guilty on September 23, 2013.
The conviction stems from an incident on May 20, 2010, when Archambault’s girlfriend called the Standing Rock Police Department and reported that her boyfriend had assaulted her.
When a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer arrived at her residence, the victim informed him that Archambault had been hitting her in the face.
The victim also reported that her 11-year-old son attempted to stop Archambault from hitting his mother, and Archambault punched her son in the face with a closed fist.
At the time of the incident, Archambault had two prior domestic abuse convictions in the Standing Rock Tribal Court for assaulting a prior intimate partner.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley prosecuted the case.
Archambault was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
