MINNEAPOLIS - United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen announced today that Mason Alexander Bullhead, 30, of Red Lake, was sentenced to 63 months in prison for his violent assault against his then-girlfriend and her three-year-old child.
Bullhead was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz on August 3, 2026.
According to court documents, on May 4, 2024, Bullhead assaulted the child inside the family home. He struck the child repeatedly and kicked him while wearing steel-toed boots. When the child's mother attempted to intervene to protect her son, Bullhead assaulted her as well. He threatened her, stating, "I should just kill you," before placing his hands around her neck and strangling her, impairing her ability to breathe.
In February 2026, Bullhead pleaded guilty to one count of assault upon a child resulting in substantial bodily injury and one count of strangling an intimate partner.
"Domestic violence will not be tolerated. Today's sentencing is another example of my office's unwavering commitment to maintaining public safety," said United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen.
This case was the result of an investigation by the FBI and the Red Lake Police Department.
Assistant United States Attorney Garrett S. Fields prosecuted the case.
