Bullhead Woman Charged with Assaulting a Federal Officer
A 49-year-old Bullhead woman has been charged with assaulting a federal officer, according to a recent indictment.
Darla Yellow Earrings, 49, was indicted on August 21, 2013, for Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer, stemming from the alleged assault of a federal law enforcement officer in July 2013.
The maximum penalty upon conviction of the charge is 20 years’ imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, an additional 2 years of supervised release upon revocation, and a mandatory $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
Yellow Earrings appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge William D. Gerdes on August 29, 2013, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The investigation is being conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Standing Rock Agency, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley is prosecuting the case.
Yellow Earrings was released, subject to conditions, and a trial date has been set for November 5, 2013.
The charge is merely an accusation, and Yellow Earrings is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
