PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) — A Warm Springs man has been sentenced to more than two years in federal prison for assault resulting in serious bodily injury and prohibited possession of a firearm.
Antoine Scott, 28, was sentenced Monday to 28 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
Here’s the rest of the U.S. Attorney’s Office news release announcing the sentence:
According to court documents, in June of 2023, Scott approached a truck on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation and began punching the passenger through the window. The passenger suffered a head injury, as well as a hand injury requiring stitches.
After being released from custody, Scott absconded from pre-trial supervision. When arrested in June of 2024, police recovered two guns from Scott’s home. Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies also recovered methamphetamine from Scott’s sock.
On May 21 of this year, Scott pleaded guilty in federal court to assault resulting in serious bodily injury and prohibited possession of a firearm.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with assistance from the Warm Springs Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Pam Paaso.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
