Frank David Francis Boy, Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Montana 2022

Browning Man Admits to Stabbing Another Man

In a shocking turn of events, Frank David Francis Boy, 24, of Browning, Montana, has pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon. The crime took place at a house party in Browning on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation.

According to court documents, the incident occurred on September 18, 2022. Boy and a group of friends were drinking alcohol in East Glacier when they decided to go for a drive. They ended up at a house party in Browning, where they met the victim, John Doe. The two men engaged in an arm-wrestling match, which led to a wrestling match and eventually a disagreement.

Boy and his companions were asked to leave the residence, but Boy refused. His friends eventually pulled him from the house, and as they were walking away, Boy turned around and began to engage John Doe. The defendant stabbed the victim four or five times in the left shoulder and back area, leaving him seriously injured.

Fortunately, another individual captured the assault on video, which will be used as evidence in the case. John Doe was treated for his injuries at a hospital in Great Falls.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kalah A. Paisley is prosecuting the case, which was investigated by the FBI and Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services. Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided over the case, and sentencing has been set for September 7. Boy faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.

The court will determine the sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Boy is currently being held pending further proceedings.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing violence on our reservations. The Blackfeet Indian Reservation has struggled with high rates of crime and violence in recent years, and this case highlights the need for increased support and resources to address these issues.
