U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson
announced that a Bullhead man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for
assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
Ansel White Eagle, Jr., age 37, was
indicted by a federal grand jury on July 18, 2012. He appeared before U.S.
District Judge Charles B. Kornmann on August 2, 2012, and pled not guilty to
the indictment. The maximum penalty on each count upon conviction is 10 years’
imprisonment, a $250,000 fine.
The charges stem from a fight that
occurred on April 24, 2010, at Bullhead between the Little Eagle family and
their supporters and the White Eagle family and their supporters. The charges
are merely accusations, and White Eagle is presumed innocent until and unless
proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikal Hanson is
prosecuting the case. White Eagle was released on bond pending trial. A trial
date has not yet been set.
