The United States Attorney’s Office announced that during a federal court session in Great Falls on June 13, 2013, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Strong, the following individual was arraigned:
Nelson Travis Alexander, a 47-year-old resident of Box Elder, appeared on a charge of assault resulting in serious bodily injury. He is currently detained. If convicted of this charge, Alexander faces possible penalties of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years’ supervised release. Assistant U.S. Attorney Danna R. Jackson is the prosecutor for the United States. The investigation was conducted by Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The defendant pled not guilty to the charge.
The charge, an indictment, information, or complaint, is merely an accusation and all persons named as defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. A pre-trial conference and a trial date will be set, and the United States will be required to prove the allegations set forth in the indictment beyond a reasonable doubt.
