March 4, 2010 - PHOENIX—Wayne Jumbo, 27, of Ganado, Arizona, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Neil V. Wake to 48 months in prison for assaulting his uncle, a 45-year-old member of the Navajo Nation. On November 5, 2009, Jumbo pleaded guilty in federal court to assault with a dangerous weapon.
On December 11, 2008, Jumbo got into an argument with his uncle, the victim, then stabbed the victim in his upper left arm with a knife. As a result of the stabbing, the victim sustained significant nerve and muscle damage to his left arm, which required surgery.
The investigation in this case was conducted by the Navajo Department of Criminal Investigations, the Window Rock Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The prosecution was handled by Christina J. Reid-Moore, Assistant U.S. Attorney, District of Arizona, Phoenix.
