2 Sentenced For Unrelated Violent Crimes At Red Lake Indian Reservation
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The United States Attorney's Office announced Thursday the sentencing of two men who committed unrelated violent crimes on the Red Lake Indian Reservation.
In the U.S. District Court in Duluth Wednesday, Fernando Luis May-Gil-Garcia, 29, and 25-year-old Avery Wade Schoenborn both received sentences of 84 months, or 7 years, in prison. Both are enrolled members of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.
May-Gil-Garcia was sentenced for striking a female victim multiple times with his fist as well as biting her on the face and back. The victim was holding a baby at the time and unable to defend herself. She suffered multiple broken bones in her face and the baby was also struck during the assault.
Schoenborn was convicted for entering a house and sexually assaulting an intoxicated victim, who was unconscious at her friend's home. She was later taken to the hospital where she regained consciousness, was treated and released.
Both cases resulted from investigations conducted by the FBI and Red Lake Police Department. They were both prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Clifford Wardlaw.
