BISMARCK – United States Attorney Christopher C. Myers
announced that Donovan Lawrence Duchaine, age 26, from New Town, ND, was
charged by an Indictment returned on June 6, 2018, for Murder and Assault with
a Dangerous Weapon.
The
Indictment alleges that on May 25, 2018, Duchaine, an enrolled member of the

defendant is presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt at trial.

Tribes Police Department; and the Ward County Sheriff’s Department.
This case
is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan J. O’Konek.
