New Town’s Valentino William White, Jr., 33, has been dealt a harsh sentence for his relentless pattern of domestic assault. The federal government has hit back with full force as White was sentenced before US District Chief Judge Daniel L. Hovland to serve four years and nine months in the slammer, with an additional three years of supervised release to follow.
This punishment comes after White’s guilty plea on November 2, 2016, for a May 2016 incident where he assaulted a woman by striking her across the face with a cell phone and throwing her down the stairs. The court records are stark: White has a history of domestic violence convictions in Grand Forks County District Court, Bismarck Municipal Court, and Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Court, each conviction etching his name into the annals of local criminality.
US Attorney Christopher C. Myers announced the sentence, which also includes a $100 special assessment to the Crime Victims’ Fund. It’s clear that Judge Hovland took no prisoners when ordering this substantial penalty. Assistant US Attorney Jonathan O’Konek led the prosecution in this case, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Three Affiliated Tribes Police Department taking on the role of detectives.
The FBI’s involvement in this investigation underscores the agency’s commitment to protecting victims of domestic violence across all jurisdictions. The Three Affiliated Tribes Police Department’s assistance is a testament to the cooperative efforts between federal and tribal law enforcement agencies, a vital component in addressing crimes that often cross cultural and legal boundaries.
White’s case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences faced by those who repeatedly violate domestic violence laws. As the gritty story of Valentino White plays out in federal court, it leaves no doubt that habitual offenders will be held accountable for their actions.
This isn’t just another domestic assault case; it’s a story of justice served and a community that won’t tolerate the abuse of its women. With White behind bars, the people of New Town take a stand against violence, hoping to see fewer repeat offenses in the future.
