Man Sentenced for Assaulting Woman
BILLINGS – A Lame Deer man who admitted to assaulting a woman on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, was sentenced today to 18 months in prison and to three years of supervised release, Acting U.S. Attorney Leif M. Johnson said.
Darrell Dean Fisher, 36, pleaded guilty on Jan. 28 to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters.
According to court documents, the altercation occurred on Aug. 4, 2019, when Fisher and the victim, identified as Jane Doe, returned to Ashland from a trip and argued. Fisher then pushed the victim to the ground, injuring her.
The case was investigated by the FBI, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Bryan T. Dake prosecuted the case. The assault resulted in substantial bodily injury, which is a serious crime that requires immediate attention.
The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation is a small but vibrant community that is home to many Native Americans. The assault on Jane Doe is a disturbing reminder of the serious issues that plague our communities, including domestic violence and assault.
The sentencing of Darrell Dean Fisher serves as a warning to those who commit similar crimes. The people of Montana deserve to feel safe in their communities, and law enforcement agencies will continue to work tirelessly to bring justice to victims of crime.
The sentencing of Fisher marks the end of a long and difficult process for the victim and her family. It is a reminder that justice can be served, even in the face of adversity.
