GREAT FALLS – A Box Elder woman who admitted stabbing a man
in the upper chest with a butterfly knife on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation
last year was sentenced today to 18 months in prison and two years of
supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Katie Lynn Big Bow, 44, pleaded guilty in January to assault
of a dating partner resulting in substantial bodily injury.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided.
The prosecution said in court records that the assault
occurred on May 2, 2019 when Big Bow stabbed the victim with a butterfly knife
in the left hand and upper chest at his house in Box Elder. The victim drove
himself to the clinic on the reservation. Big Bow and the victim were in a
long-term relationship.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Paulette Stewart prosecuted the
case, which was investigated by the FBI and Rocky Boy’s Chippewa Cree Law
Enforcement.
