BILLINGS—Garryowen resident Tyrone Joe Oldelk, who admitted
beating a person, was sentenced today to prison and to three years of
supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Oldelk, 30, pleaded guilty in October to assault resulting
in substantial bodily injury of a dating partner.
U.S. District Judge Susan Watters presided. Judge Watters
sentenced Oldelk to 24 months in prison and gave him credit for three months he
served in tribal jail for the same offense, for a net sentence of 21 months.
Prosecutors said evidence showed that Oldelk assaulted the
victim on Nov. 18, 2017 in Garryowen on the Crow Indian Reservation after he
got drunk and the two began arguing. Oldelk punched, choked and kicked the
victim on various parts of her body over several hours and stopped when another
person entered the room. The beating resumed the next morning and stopped when
the victim, attempting to defend herself, hit Oldelk in the face and broke his
nose.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lori Suek prosecuted the case, which
was investigated by the FBI.
