Ashville, NC - The United States of America charged Jonathan David Taylor assault with intent to murder.
U.S. District Judge Martin Reidinger sentenced Jonathan David Taylor to 46 months in prison and three years of supervised release, for the May 2019 assault of a tribal elder.
According to filed court documents and today’s sentencing hearing, on May 8, 2019, Taylor used a metal pipe to strike a 71-year-old male victim in the forehead, inflicting serious injury. Court records show that Taylor assaulted the victim when the victim attempted to prevent Taylor from physically assaulting Taylor’s then-girlfriend. Court records also show that Taylor caused the victim to sustain a large jagged laceration on the top of his head that required medical attention. Both Taylor and the victim are enrolled members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
Taylor is currently in federal custody and will be transferred to the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons. All federal sentences are served without the possibility of parole.
