MACY, Neb. (KTIV) – A man has been sentenced after authorities say he attacked another man with a knife.
Victor Miller, 32, of Macy, Nebraska, was sentenced on Aug. 29, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska.
Miller was found guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm in Indian Country.
United States District Court Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Miller to 41 months in prison.
After Miller’s release from prison, he must begin a three-year term of supervised release.
Federal authorities say in May 2023, Miller approached a group of people playing horseshoes in a residential area of Macy, Nebraska.
According to authorities, Miller ran up to one of the players, a man known by Miller, and began slashing at the victim with a blade. The victim shouted to others who were present that Miller had a knife. Miller’s blade cut the victim’s hand and wrist.
The victim and others present began throwing horseshoes at Miller to stop his attack. Miller then fled the scene.
The victim was transported for care and required several stitches to close the lacerations caused by Miller.
Miller was prosecuted in federal court because the assault was a felony, and it took place on the Omaha Nation Indian Reservation in Nebraska.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
