GREAT FALLS—A Harlem man was sentenced to 21 months in
prison and three years of supervised release on Oct. 10 for conviction on
domestic abuse charges, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Jerel Edgar Johnson, 35, of Harlem, pleaded guilty in June
to domestic abuse by a habitual offender.
U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided.
The prosecution said in court records that Johnson assaulted
the victim twice in June 2018 near Snake Butte on the Fort Belknap Indian
Reservation. Johnson had been convicted of at least two separate prior domestic
assaults in tribal court. The victim sought medical treatment for her injuries
and reported the abuse. The victim reported that Johnson had hit, kneed, slapped
and choked her.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Paulette Stewart prosecuted the
case, which was investigated by the Fort Belknap Police Department and the FBI.
