June 29, 2010 - MARQUETTE, MI—Leonard Scott Nickaboine, 32, of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, a member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Tribe, was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for domestic assault by a habitual offender, U.S. Attorney Donald A. Davis announced today. In addition to the prison term, Senior U.S. District Judge R. Allan Edgar ordered Nickaboine to serve three years of supervised release following his release from prison and to pay a $100 special assessment. Nickaboine pleaded guilty to a federal indictment charging him with domestic assault by a habitual offender on March 19, 2010. The charge stemmed from an incident at Nickaboine’s residence on December 19, 2009, during which Nickaboine assaulted his wife, throwing her to the ground, striking her with his fist, and choking her. Nickaboine was previously convicted of domestic violence on two separate occasions in Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians Tribal court.
U.S. Attorney Davis commended the Sault Ste. Marie Tribal Police Department and special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their work in this case. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul D. Lochner.
