A Box Elder man has been sentenced to 22 months in prison for a violent attack on his partner at their home on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation.
Titus Lee Pedraza, 40, pleaded guilty in May to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury of a spouse, intimate or dating partner.
On November 23, 2022, Pedraza was home with the victim, identified as Jane Doe, and her children. Jane Doe told Pedraza she wanted a babysitter so they could go gambling together. Pedraza, who was drunk, became enraged and accused Jane Doe of wanting to cheat on him.
Pedraza then assaulted her by strangling and hitting her, causing serious bodily injury. The FBI and Rocky Boy’s Police Department conducted the investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda L. Myers prosecuted the case. Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided over the sentencing.
Pedraza will serve 22 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release. This sentence reflects the severity of the crime and the harm caused to the victim.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for violent crimes against intimate partners.
GREAT FALLS — A Box Elder man who admitted to assaulting a woman on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation was sentenced today to 22 months in prison, to be followed by two years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.
