Ricardo Daniel Rodriguez, 39, of Culdesac, Idaho, was sentenced yesterday to six months in federal prison for assault, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Mikel H. Williams also ordered Rodriguez to serve six months of supervised release following his prison term and pay $4,320 in restitution. Rodriguez was convicted by a federal jury on November 16, 2010.

During the two-day trial, the jury heard evidence that on May 18, 2009, Rodriguez assaulted Jeffory Talbott, an Idaho State Police Trooper, by striking, beating, and wounding Talbott.

The charge arose from a traffic stop that Talbott initiated on a county highway within the Nez Perce Indian Reservation.

Rodriguez was a passenger in the pickup truck that Talbott stopped. The assault occurred shortly after the traffic stop. During the incident, Talbott fired his service weapon. Vern Ellenwood was killed and Rodriguez was wounded.

The case was investigated by the Nez Perce County Sheriff's Office, Nez Perce Tribal Police Department, and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The United States Attorney's Office has jurisdiction over cases involving a non-Indian victim and an Indian defendant that occur within the boundaries of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation.

What a fucking joke. The guy attacked him and I wish the cop would have killed both their asses and saved the taxpayers money prosecuting and keeping a roof over these scum bags heads.

the cop had no business there. Cops fuck with us over stupid traffic violations. He speeeding ? by how much and where? a mans life taken over a bullshit power trip by cowboy cops. The cop could have backed off and returned later. People don't like to be fucked with. The situation becomes confusing and scary to drivers and often respond with defience and violance.

the native americans are right when he said that cop had no business on their trible land.

You forgot to mention someone who has had several friends who were officers killed because of pieces of shit like this.

Some officers are over the line but this guy was clearly doing his job and was attacked in the middle of nowhere with no backup
