A federal jury in Green Bay has convicted Neegee J. Cloud, 32, of burglary and assault with intent to murder in a brutal domestic assault on the Menominee Indian Reservation.
According to evidence presented at trial, on September 20, 2024, Cloud broke into a home in Neopit and violently attacked his girlfriend, leaving her unconscious on a bedroom floor. The assault was caught on camera, with video footage showing Cloud punching, kicking, and stomping on the victim’s head, as well as slamming her face into the floor.
The trial evidence included testimony from the homeowner, who was alerted to the incident by the camera system and contacted tribal police. Cloud was arrested outside the house and the victim was rushed to a trauma center in Wausau, where she spent nearly two weeks in the intensive care unit and was hospitalized for nearly a month.
The victim sustained serious injuries, including fractured orbital bones and soft tissue injuries to her throat that required intubation to prevent her airway from closing. The attack was investigated by the Menominee Tribal Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Assistant United States Attorneys Andrew J. Maier and Alexander E. Duros prosecuting the case.
Cloud, an enrolled member of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, faces a maximum of 10 years in prison on the burglary count and a maximum of 20 years in prison on the assault with intent to murder count when he is sentenced by Senior United States District Judge William C. Griesbach on November 10, 2025.
The conviction is a significant victory for law enforcement and the community, said Richard G. Frohling, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The case highlights the importance of cooperation between federal and tribal authorities in combating violent crime on Indian reservations.
