MINNEAPOLIS – A northern Minnesota man has been sentenced to over 24 years in prison for illegally possessing a firearm following a domestic assault.
According to court documents, on November 19, 2020, Leech Lake Tribal Police responded to a report of 37-year-old Justin Cutbank physically assaulting a woman, holding her at gunpoint, and threatening to kill her before fleeing into the woods. After hours of negotiations, Cutbank was arrested.
The next day, officers found a .22-caliber rifle in the woods with no serial number, a knife, and the victim’s phone.
Cutbank, who had multiple prior felony convictions, was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition.
