GREAT FALLS – Box Elder resident Larry Ray Denny, Jr.,
admitted a domestic assault charge on Tuesday in federal court, U.S. Attorney
Kurt Alme said today.
Denny, 46, pleaded guilty to domestic assault by a habitual
offender. Denny faces a maximum five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three
years of supervised release.
U.S. Magisrate Judge John T. Johnston presided at the
hearing and recommended Denny's plea be accepted by U.S. District Judge Brian
M. Morris, who is hearing the case. Sentencing is set for June 6. Denny was
released pending sentencing.
Prosecutors said evidence would show that law enforcement
arrived at the victim’s residence on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation on Oct.
15, 2017 and that Denny had hit her. Denny has two prior domestic assault
convictions.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Cassady Adams and Ryan Weldon are
prosecuting the case, which was investigated by the FBI and Chippewa Cree Law
Enforcement.
