Heading: Violence at the Wind River Indian Reservation

Text: Early on April 22, 2012, Nowlin and Lorenzo Roman arrived at a bonfire party at the Wind River Indian Reservation. The gathering included Tylis Teran, Michael Smith, Brandon Gould, Brent Gould, and Darlynn Seminole. At the party, Lorenzo Roman and Tylis Teran began to argue. What followed, according to the prosecution’s evidence, was a violent rampage by Nowlin. As Roman and Teran argued, Nowlin struck Teran in the back of the head with a stick. Michael Smith and Brandon Gould tried to intervene, but Nowlin struck them on the head. Nowlin also attacked Brent Gould and Darlynn Seminole. Teran and Smith were later treated at a local hospital for head lacerations and released. Seminole sustained contusions on her legs. Brent Gould was treated for a broken arm, but x-rays revealed no fracture. And Brandon Gould suffered a fractured skull, intracranial bleeding, and permanent loss of vision in one eye.
