A brutal assault in Wyoming has led to a harsh sentence for a local man. Kenneth Wayne Crawford III, a 22-year-old enrolled Eastern Shoshone man, was sentenced to 37 months imprisonment for his role in a vicious attack on his girlfriend.
According to court documents, the assault took place in May 2013, when Crawford became intoxicated and physically attacked his girlfriend. The victim suffered serious bodily injuries as a result of the attack.
U.S. Attorney Christopher A. Crofts announced the sentence, which was handed down by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Freudenthal on October 28, 2013. In addition to the prison term, Crawford was ordered to pay $7,665.72 in restitution and a $100 special assessment.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who worked tirelessly to bring Crawford to justice.
Crawford’s sentence is a stark reminder that violent crime will not be tolerated in our community. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, has spoken out about the attack, saying: ‘I’m just glad that Crawford is facing consequences for his actions. I hope that this sentence will serve as a warning to others that violence will not be tolerated.’
The Grimy Times would like to extend our support to the victim and her family during this difficult time. We hope that justice has been served and that Crawford will take responsibility for his actions.
