Sapulpa man sentenced in domestic violence case

Jared Andrew Evans, 29, of Sapulpa, was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release for assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to an intimate partner and dating partner in Indian Country.

Evans’ sentencing was part of a pair handed out down by federal courts. “In both of these cases, the defendants chose to put their hands around their partners’ necks in an attempt to strangle them. Tragically, domestic abuse often escalates from strangulation to homicide,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “This team of federal prosecutors and law enforcement officials will continue to hold accountable perpetrators of domestic violence for the trauma they inflict on their partners, families and communities.”
