A Michigan man has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for assaulting his intimate partner.
Ronald Burt Krull, 56, of Kinroos, was convicted of assault by strangulation. This case is part of a larger effort by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan to crack down on domestic violence offenses.
“The harsh reality is that millions of Americans live in fear of domestic violence every day,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. “My office stands with victims and will continue to do everything we can to protect them and work with law enforcement partners to hold their abusers accountable.”
