MUSKOGEE, OK—Sheldon J. Sperling, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, announced today that JEREMY DEWAYNE GRIMMETT, age 29, of Stilwell, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment, followed by 36 months of supervised release and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $3533.21 for Assault With a Dangerous Weapon, a violation of Title 18, U.S.C. Section 113(a)(3).

“Charges arose from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Adair County Sheriff’s Office and the Cherokee Nation Marshal’s Service,” stated U.S. Attorney Sheldon J. Sperling.

“The criminal complaint which was filed on September 25, 2008, alleged that on July 12, 2008, during an altercation between two separate individuals, GRIMMETT retrieved a pistol, fired it into the air and then struck one of the individuals in the head with that pistol, knocking him to the ground.  GRIMMETT continued striking the victim with that weapon on the head,” U.S. Attorney Sperling noted.

“The charging document asserted that a bystander, who approached GRIMMETT during the assault, was threatened by GRIMMETT with that same pistol.  Fearing for their safety, they got in their car and began to drive off when GRIMMETT fired at the vehicle striking it, including a shot into the hood of their car which resulted in the car being disabled,” recalled U.S. Attorney Sperling.

“The Honorable James H. Payne, District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over today’s hearing.  GRIMMETT remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshal’s Service.”

“Assistant United States Attorney Dean Burris represented the United States.
