Menominee Man Indicted for Aggravated Assault on Menominee Indian Reservation

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Dec. 5, 2019. It is reproduced in full below.

Matthew D. Krueger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on Dec. 3, 2019, a federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment against Frank J. Sackatook (age: 38) of Green Bay.

The indictment charged Sackatook with Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 113(a)(6). If convicted, Sackatook faces a maximum of ten years in prison, up to a $250,000 fine, and up to three years of supervised release.

According to the indictment, on or about Oct. 17, 2019, the defendant struck a woman with his fists and repeatedly kicked her in the head with steel-toed boots, causing her to sustain bleeding on the brain requiring surgical intervention.

The Menominee Tribal Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case, which Assistant United States Attorney Andrew J. Maier will prosecute.

An indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
