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.”
Evans admitted that on May 22, 2020, he struck his girlfriend in the back of the head, knocking her down to the ground and resulting in a laceration. He also attempted to strangle the victim and kicked her in the stomach, causing her to throw up.
Evans was listed as one of US Marshals “most wanted” in June of 2020 and was arrested the following July with a slew of other charges, including kidnapping and burglary.
The FBI and Sapulpa Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Reagan V. Reininger prosecuted the case.
