BILLINGS—A Busby man who admitted assaulting an elderly
woman in her 80s as she tried to break up a fight was sentenced today to five
years and three months in prison, three years of supervised release and ordered
to pay $26,599 restitution for Medicare, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Calvin Lee Lamewoman, 38, pleaded guilty in September to
assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided. Judge Watters
ordered the sentence to run consecutively to another sentence.
The assault occurred on May 5, 2016 in Busby on the Northern
Cheyenne Indian Reservation, the prosecution said in court records. The victim
was in her 80s at the time and has since died, but her death was not from
injuries suffered in the assault. The victim suffered bruises to her chest,
broken ribs, a broken jaw and other fractures and bruises.
Lamewoman was
fighting with another person at a Busby residence when the victim entered the
living room to try to break up the argument. Lamewoman turned on the victim and
repeatedly hit and kicked her, knocking her down.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lori Suek prosecuted the case, which
was investigated by the FBI.
