Kinross man sentenced to federal prison for strangling his partner

MARQUETTE, Mich. – U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan Mark Totten Tuesday announced that Ronald Burt Krull, 56, of Kinross, Michigan, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for assault by strangulation of an intimate partner.

“The harsh reality is that millions of Americans live in fear of domestic violence every day,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. “My office stands with victims and will continue to do everything we can to protect them and work with law enforcement partners to hold their abusers accountable.”

Krull is the sixth defendant sentenced in the last six months for domestic-violence related offenses after being charged by the Northern Division of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan. The Court previously sentenced the following defendants:

  • On June 5, 2024, Steven Webster (31) of Green Bay, Wisconsin, was sentenced to 60 months’ imprisonment for domestic assault by a habitual offender.
  • On June 26, 2024, Jacob Wolf (28) of Marquette, Michigan, was sentenced to 38 months’ imprisonment for domestic assault by a habitual offender. 
  • On July 18, 2024, Eric Halfaday (39) of Wilson, Michigan, was sentenced to 24 months’ imprisonment for assault by strangulation of an intimate partner.
  • On September 5, 2024, Jaden Plank (25) of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, was sentenced to 37 months’ imprisonment for assault by strangulation of an intimate partner. 
  • On November 18, 2024, Jason Michael Noguess (33) of Delta County, Michigan, was sentenced to 33 months for assault by suffocation of an intimate partner.

“Today’s sentencing of Ronald Krull, a violent offender, underscores the FBI’s commitment to investigate domestic violence related offenses on federal trust land,” said Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Michigan. “Members from the FBI in Michigan, in partnership with the Sault Tribal Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Michigan, worked diligently to investigate and bring Mr. Krull to justice. Domestic violence is a terrible offense, and the FBI remains committed to working with our law enforcement partners to protect victims and ensure the safety of communities across Michigan.”

The FBI, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Police, Sault Tribal Police Department, Hannahville Police Department, Marquette City Police investigated the cases.

Domestic violence occurs throughout the country every day. It impacts victims and witnesses physically, psychologically, and socially. Unlike many crimes, domestic violence often involves years of emotional and psychological trauma, as well as physical violence that becomes increasingly frequent and more severe over time.  Unfortunately, many victims do not view themselves as victims and do not realize that domestic violence is a crime perpetrated against them. Local law enforcement officers, child and family services workers, community leaders, educators, coaches, parents, siblings, and loved ones all play a critical role in identifying, intervening, and providing treatment in cases of domestic violence.

Additional information and resources related to domestic violence can be found at the Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, Domestic Violence webpage, as well as through StrongHearts Native Helpline (1-844-762-8483) and the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic & Sexual Violence (1-855-863-2374).

If you or a family member has been or is being impacted by domestic violence, please contact your local law enforcement agency and local domestic violence agency.

In their first meeting since the election, the Gwen Area Community School Board is again planning to ask the voters for the funds needed to maintain their schools, and even though the bond proposal lost by 400 votes, the school's superintendent, Dr Sarah Croney says she is not discouraged. "We looked at it as 38% of our voters a year ago were positive in their vote, and this year, 46% were positive," said Croney.
