ALBUQUERQUE—This morning, a federal judge in Albuquerque sentenced Aero Nez, 23, of Shiprock, N.M., to 18 months of imprisonment for his federal assault conviction. Nez, a member of the Navajo Nation, will serve three years on supervised release after completing his prison sentence. He also was ordered to pay $6,654 in restitution.

Nez was arrested on a criminal complaint filed on May 13, 2011, and subsequently was charged in a four-count indictment alleging (1) abuse of a child under the age of 18; (2) assault resulting in serious bodily injury; (3) robbery; and (4) theft.

Court records reflect that, on March 27, 2011, the Navajo Nation Department of Public Safety contacted the FBI after a 14-year-old female child with a severe head injury was found in a canal near Indian Village in Shiprock.

Several weeks later, after the child’s medical condition improved, the child reported that Nez hit her and caused her to fall into the canal and then struck her with the leg of a metal chair because she refused to give him money to purchase alcohol. The child had $30 in her possession at the time of the assault and did not know what happened to the money but assumed that Nez stole it following the assault.
