Monday, Dillon Colton Wilson, 26, of Glendale, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Steven P. Logan to 21 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Wilson had previously pleaded guilty to assault resulting in serious bodily injury.

Wilson admitted that while caring for the 5-month-old infant victim in the Ak-Chin Indian Community, he forcefully jerked the victim by the left arm, resulting in a complete, mid-shaft break of the upper arm. Wilson is an enrolled member of the Tohono O’Odham Nation.

The investigation in this case was conducted by the Ak-Chin Police Department.  The prosecution was handled by Christine Ducat Keller, assistant U.S. attorney, District of Arizona, Phoenix.
