MINOT, N.D. — A Belcourt man has pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a federal law officer.
U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says Richard Bruce Jr., 36, faces up to 28 years in prison and $500,000 in fines when he’s sentenced next Feb. 14.
Authorities say Bruce elbowed one officer in the ribs and spit in another officer’s face on July 2 at the Turtle Mountain Correctional Facility in Belcourt.
