FORT WASHAKIE MAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT BY STRANGULATION
United States Attorney Bob Murray announced today that 56-year-old Darwin James Brown of Fort Washakie, Wyoming, was charged with assault by strangulation. Brown appeared for an arraignment hearing on April 5, 2022, before Federal District Court Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin and pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial has been set for June 6, 2022.
Brown faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment, three years of supervised release, up to a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The crime is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan C. Coppom is prosecuting the case.
According to the indictment, Brown allegedly committed the assault. However, it’s essential to note that an indictment merely contains allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Case No. 22-CR-00036 is the number assigned to this case. The public can stay informed about this case by following Grimy Times for updates on this and other high-profile cases.
