A 23-year-old Tohono O'odham man was sentenced to nearly nine years in prison Tuesday, after pleading guilty to child abuse and domestic violence assault, authorities said.
Orlando Tony Mandre, of Santa Rosa Village, near Sells, was arrested in 2015 after punching a 1-year-old child in the face and attempting to strangle the child, then trying to strangle the child's mother, saidΒ Cosme Lopez, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office District of Arizona.
Mandre was sentenced to 105 months in prison byΒ U.S. District Judge Raner C. Collins. The investigation into the assault was handled by the Tohono O'odham Police Department and the FBI, and the case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Raquel Arellano, Lopez said.
