Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
A Jenks man was sentenced on May 7 after being found guilty by a federal jury of breaking his girlfriend’s shin and ankle during an argument, U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson announced.
U.S. District Judge Sara E. Hill sentenced Jamon Charles Phetsacksith, 27, to 33 months in prison followed by one year of supervised release. In January, a federal jury convicted Phetsacksith of Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury in Indian Country.
According to the press release, the incident occurred in November 2024 when Phetsacksith and his girlfriend were drinking and went together to pick up his paycheck after hours. An argument began between them at the location. The victim testified that she tried to de-escalate the situation by leaving but was chased and pushed by Phetsacksith as seen on video surveillance footage.
The jury heard a recording of Phetsacksith’s 911 call where he claimed the victim had fallen down stairs and needed medical help. When separated from him, the victim told EMSA personnel that she had been assaulted. Tulsa Police officers responded to the scene and spoke with all parties involved. Body camera footage played for jurors showed Phetsacksith saying they were drunk, had fought, and "it got out of hand." He later admitted to officers that he threw her around.
A trauma surgeon testified that the victim suffered fractures in three places: her left ankle as well as both tibia and fibula bones broken in half, requiring surgical rods and screws for repair.
Phetsacksith is a member of the Osage Nation and will remain in custody pending transfer to U.S. Bureau of Prisons custody.
The FBI and Tulsa Police Department investigated this case while Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mallory Richard and Stacey Todd prosecuted it.
