Parker, AZ man sentenced for attacking girlfriend, fracturing her face
March 30th, 2010 - 11:55 pm ICT by BNO NewsPHOENIX, ARIZONA (BNO NEWS) – An Arizona man was sentenced for violently attacking his girlfriend, which caused facial fractures, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Calvin Bryan Evanston, 53, of Parker, Arizona, and a member of the Colorado River Indian Tribes, got angry with his then live-in girlfriend and hit her in the master bedroom of their home, striking her hard enough to cause her to fall to the floor, and in falling, her head struck the night stand and started bleeding. The victim, who had been Evanston’s girlfriend for eight years, sustained severe injuries, including more than five facial fractures and nine lacerations.
Evanston left the house for hours, continued to drink alcohol, and then returned to their home more than four hours later. He called the police upon his return and stated that he “found her like that.” Both Evanston and the victim had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol prior to the assault.
She was taken to the La Paz County Hospital, and then flown immediately by helicopter to Banner Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, where she underwent surgery for her injuries a few days later. Doctors repaired her facial fractures and lacerations with metal plates and screws, skin staples, and sutures.
After one week in the hospital, she spent 11 days in a rehabilitation facility to help restore her balance.
Evanston was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison.
