GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Nee Gee Cloud was sentenced to 30 years in prison for burglary and assault with intent to murder for breaking into his girlfriend’s home on the Menominee Indian Reservation and violently attacking her.
Cloud was sentenced Monday by federal Judge William Griesbach. He was also ordered to pay $2,004.30 in restitution, court records show.
The evidence presented at trial showed that on the afternoon of Sept. 20, 2024, Cloud broke into a home in Neopit. Once inside, Cloud attacked his girlfriend, beating her unconscious on a bedroom floor. Cloud returned to the bedroom several times over the next twenty minutes, and punched, kicked, and stomped on the victim’s head. Cloud also slammed the victim’s face into the floor.
The trial evidence included video from a camera system inside the home that captured the forced entry and portions of the attacks. The homeowner was alerted by the camera system, saw some of the incident, and contacted tribal police, who responded. Cloud was arrested outside the house.
The evidence also showed that tribal EMS arranged for emergency transport of the victim to a trauma center in Wausau. The victim remained in the intensive care unit for nearly two weeks and was hospitalized for nearly a month. The victim sustained fractured orbital bones and soft tissue injuries to her throat that required intubation while in the ICU to prevent her airway from closing.
