For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Oklahoma

A Bristow man was sentenced today for assaulting his former girlfriend and causing substantial bodily injury, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

“The fear and control domestic abusers exert on their victims is terrifying. Bobby Thompson threatened the victim and her family, beat her, and attempted to strangle her,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “Thompson will spend the next  24 months in prison where he will no longer be able to intimidate and harm this victim or her family.”

U.S. District Judge John F. Heil III sentenced Bobby Brian Thompson, 39, to 24 months in federal prison followed by three years supervised release.

Thompson pleaded guilty to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a spouse, intimate partner, dating partner in Indian Country in December.  In his plea agreement, Thompson admitted that on or about June 11, 2020, in Bristow, Oklahoma, he assaulted his dating partner. Specifically, he admitted to striking the victim with his fists and strangling her. The victim suffered substantial bodily injury as a result of his assault upon her.

The FBI and Bristow Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard M. Cella prosecuted the case.
