A federal jury yesterday convicted a resident of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Owyhee, Nevada, of witness tampering.
R.C. Crutcher, a resident of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Owyhee, Nevada, was found guilty of one count of tampering with a witness.
As proven at trial, from March 11, 2025, to March 16, 2025, Crutcher made attempts to persuade a victim from testifying at a federal trial.
Crutcher made multiple phone calls from jail to his mother, asking his mother to locate and persuade a victim not to show up for trial so his case would be dismissed.
Following a four-day trial, Crutcher was found guilty.
Crutcher is scheduled for sentencing on February 24, 2026, before United States District Judge Anne R. Traum.
He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
