Court Cases | Yazzie pleads guilty to assault
LOS ANGELES
Fabian Edward Yazzie has entered a guilty plea in federal district court in Prescott to a single count of assault with a deadly weapon.
Yazzie was arrested in May 2021 for the March 2018 assault of a man, identified in court records as J.C., by stabbing him in the neck and arm, causing severe injuries.
If found guilty of the charge, Yazzie faces a maximum of 10 years in prison. Prosecutors have agreed to recommend a reduced sentence to a midpoint level in the sentencing guide by pleading guilty and showing remorse.
His sentencing is currently set for April 25. He remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
