ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO – A Jicarilla Apache man has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for assaulting his intimate partner on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation.
Terrance Julian, 30, a member of the Jicarilla Apache Nation who resides in Dulce, N.M., was sentenced today in federal court in Albuquerque, N.M., to 18 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release for his federal assault conviction.
According to court documents, Julian was arrested on August 21, 2014 on an indictment alleging that on October 14, 2012, he assaulted a woman with a dangerous weapon, and brandished a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.
The indictment alleged that Julian committed the crimes on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in Rio Arriba County, N.M.
On November 26, 2014, Julian pled guilty to Count 1 of the indictment charging him with assault with a dangerous weapon. In entering his guilty plea, Julian admitted assaulting his intimate partner, a Jicarilla Apache woman, by striking her with a rifle.
This case was investigated by the Jicarilla Apache Tribal Police Department and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Adams.
The case was brought pursuant to the Tribal Special Assistant U.S. Attorney (Tribal SAUSA) Pilot Project in the District of New Mexico which is sponsored by the Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women under a grant administered by the Pueblo of Laguna.
The Tribal SAUSA Pilot Project seeks to train tribal prosecutors in federal law, procedure and investigative techniques to increase the likelihood that every viable violent offense against Native women is prosecuted in either federal court or tribal court, or both.
