A brutal assault on the Choctaw Indian Reservation has left a trail of blood and a guilty plea. Telinah Kowi Tek Farve, 25, of Pearl River, Mississippi, has admitted to stabbing a tribal member with a knife in 2023.
According to court documents, the vicious attack occurred in the Pearl River Community of the Choctaw Indian Reservation. The victim suffered serious bodily injury, prompting a federal investigation that would eventually lead to Farve’s indictment by a grand jury.
Farve’s guilty plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Todd W. Gee and Special Agent in Charge Robert Eikhoff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Choctaw Police Department and the FBI worked together to bring the case to justice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin J. Payne and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian K. Burns prosecuted the case, ensuring that Farve would face the maximum penalty for her crime. The maximum penalty for assault resulting in serious bodily injury is up to 10 years in prison.
Farve is scheduled to be sentenced on August 6, 2024. A federal district judge will determine the sentence, taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The judge’s decision will be a critical moment in this case, as it will determine the extent of Farve’s punishment.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the violence that can occur on Native American reservations. It is a tragic reminder of the work that still needs to be done to keep communities safe. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
