Fort Washakie Man Sentenced for Assault by Strangulation

A 24-year-old Fort Washakie man was recently sentenced in federal court for the charge of assault by strangulation. United States Attorney for the District of Wyoming Bob Murray, in a media release issued by the Department of Justice, announced that Jared Matthew Noseep was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment and three years of supervised release. United States District Court Chief Judge Scott W. Skavdahl also ordered Noseep to pay a $250 fine and a $200 special assessment fee.

Noseep entered guilty pleas on two separate incidents in which he strangled and/or attempted to strangle a victim meeting the statutory definition of an intimate dating partner.  The two assaults involved the same victim and occurred on January 6, 2020, and September 7, 2020, on the Wind River Indian Reservation. This crime was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
