Red Lake Woman Indicted for Murder, Assault
| U.S. Attorney’s Office May 21, 2009 |
A 18-year-old Red Lake woman was indicted yesterday in federal court on one count of murder and two assault counts in connection with a stabbing on April 12.
Patricia Ann Brown was charged with one count of murder, one count of assault resulting in serious bodily injury and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. Brown’s indictment alleges that on April 12 she murdered a 14-year-old boy and cut two other boys with a knife.
If convicted, Brown faces a potential maximum penalty of life in prison on all three counts. All sentences are determined by a federal district court judge. This case is the result of an investigation by the FBI and the Red Lake Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Steven L. Schleicher and Tricia A. Tingle.
