Michigan Man Sentenced to 30 Months for Domestic Assault as Feds Intensify Crackdown on Abuse

Ronald Burt Krull, 56, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for assault by strangulation of an intimate partner by Western District of Michigan U.S. Attorney Mark Totten, who took a strong stance against the evil of domestic violence. This comes after a string of prosecutions in which federal law enforcement has vigorously hunted down domestic abusers. “The harsh reality is that millions of Americans live in fear of domestic violence every day,” Totten said, stating his office’s dedication to assisting victims and working with law enforcement to hold offenders accountable, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

In Krull’s case, the Northern Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office has imposed six such sentences in the last six months. Notably, other people like Jacob Wolf and Steven Webster received sentences of 38 months and 60 months, respectively, for domestic assault by a repeat offender. As the FBI collaborated closely with the Sault Tribal Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office to secure Krull’s prosecution, Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Michigan, emphasized the agency’s commitment to looking into domestic violence-related offenses on federal trust land. Gibson reaffirmed the FBI’s continued dedication to collaborating with our law enforcement partners in order to safeguard victims and guarantee community safety throughout Michigan.

The fight against domestic abuse involves a team of committed people from many departments. These crimes were investigated by the FBI, local tribal police departments such the Sault Tribal Police Department and Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Police, as well as local law enforcement agencies like the Hannahville and Marquette City Police. The significance that both federal and local authorities have placed on tackling the widespread problem of domestic abuse, which frequently causes its victims to suffer physical and psychological harm for a long time, is shown by this integrated effort.
