Violent Crime: Nelson Travis Alexander Sentenced for Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury
In a shocking turn of events, Nelson Travis Alexander, a 47-year-old resident of Box Elder and an enrolled member of the Chippewa Cree Indian Tribe, was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for assault resulting in serious bodily injury. The sentencing took place in U.S. District Court in Great Falls, Montana, on October 22, 2013, before Chief U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen.
The assault, which occurred on December 2, 2012, within the exterior boundaries of the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, left the victim, K.A., with severe injuries, including a broken nose, fractured jaw, and extreme swelling to her face. She was flown to the hospital in Great Falls and hospitalized for several days.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Danna R. Jackson filed an Offer of Proof, stating that the government would have proved at trial that Alexander intentionally assaulted K.A. without warning, causing her serious bodily injury.
Alexander’s sentence also includes a special assessment of $100 and three years of supervised release. Because there is no parole in the federal system, Alexander will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. However, he has the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for ‘good behavior,’ which will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
