Description:
Cut Bank man sentenced to two years in prison for assault
A Cut Bank man who assaulted a 17-year-old girl was sentenced to 24 months in prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Elijah John Bullcalf, 21, pleaded guilty in December 2024 to assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian Morris presided.
The government alleged in court documents that on May 25, 2023, Bullcalf assaulted Jane Doe in her bedroom at her parents' home. They got into an argument after Bullcalf saw a text message he didn't like on Doe's cell phone. Bullcalf bit Doe's hand and then punched her one time in the face, breaking her jaw.
Bullcalf didn't want her to go to the hospital and took her to his house instead. After several hours, Doe was in so much pain that Bullcalf relented and took her to the hospital. He told Doe to tell everyone she slipped and fell on the porch. Doe had to have two metal plates surgically placed in her jaw, one of which is permanent. Doe told law enforcement that one month after the assault, Bullcalf hit her again in the same part of the jaw, causing pain and bleeding. During a recorded interview with law enforcement in March 2024, Bullcalf admitted the assault.
The U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuted the case and the investigation was conducted by the FBI and Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services.
