Jordale Thomas Redwolf, Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Montana 2023

Wyola Man Sentenced for Assault with Steel-Toe Boots

A Crow Agency man who admitted to punching another man in the face and then kicking him with steel-toe boots in a residence in Wyola, on the Crow Indian Reservation, was sentenced today to three years and seven months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.

The defendant, Jordale Thomas Redwolf, 36, pleaded guilty in May to assault with a dangerous weapon.

U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided.

According to court documents, the government alleged that on Dec. 8, 2023, Redwolf and the victim, identified as John Doe, were drinking alcohol at a house in Wyola, on the Crow Indian Reservation. Doe reported that for no apparent reason, Redwolf repeatedly punched him in the face. When Doe fell to the floor, Redwolf kicked him in the face and torso with boots. Doe was treated at the Crow Indian Health Service Hospital for injuries.

In an interview the next day, Redwolf admitted he beat up Doe because both were drunk, and Doe was “mouthing off” because Redwolf had just been released from prison. Redwolf kicked Doe with his prison-issued boots. Law enforcement seized steel-toe boots that had blood on them from Redwolf’s home.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case. The FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs conducted the investigation.

The case highlights the ongoing issues of violence on the Crow Indian Reservation. As the community continues to grapple with these issues, it is essential to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.

Redwolf’s sentence is a reminder that violence will not be tolerated in our communities. We must work together to create a safer and more just society for all.
