Heading: Criminal proceedings against Ms. Hatch.

Text: The day after the assault, December 6, 2010, Ms. Ware spoke with a Ute Mountain tribal police officer about the attack, and showed him the cell phone video she had recorded. The police investigated, and on March 16, 2011, the government obtained a two-count indictment against Ms. Hatch in the district court. Count One charged Hatch as a principal and aider and abettor for the crime of assault with a dangerous weapon in Indian Country in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 113(a)(3). Count Two charged Hatch as a principal and aider and abettor for the crime of assault resulting in serious bodily injury (apparently, Mr. Wells’s broken nose) in Indian County in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 113(a)(6). On June 3, 2011, Ms. Hatch pled guilty to Count Two (assault resulting in serious bodily injury), and the government dismissed Count One. Ms. Hatch was sentenced on August 19, 2011. The district court applied U.S.S.G. § 2A2.2, which is applicable when a defendant is convicted of an aggravated assault.
