A federal jury in Green Bay has convicted Neegee J. Cloud, 32, of burglary and assault with intent to murder following a domestic assault on the Menominee Indian Reservation. The announcement was made by Richard G. Frohling, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

According to evidence presented at trial, on September 20, 2024, Cloud broke into a home in Neopit and attacked his girlfriend. The prosecution described how Cloud beat the victim unconscious on a bedroom floor and returned several times over twenty minutes to continue the assault by punching, kicking, stomping on her head, and slamming her face into the floor.

Video footage from an interior camera system captured both the forced entry and parts of the attack. The homeowner was alerted by this system and contacted tribal police after witnessing some of the incident. Tribal police responded and arrested Cloud outside the house.

Emergency medical services arranged for the victim’s transport to a trauma center in Wausau. She remained in intensive care for nearly two weeks and was hospitalized for almost a month due to fractured orbital bones and soft tissue injuries that required intubation to protect her airway.

Cloud is scheduled to be sentenced by Senior United States District Judge William C. Griesbach on November 10, 2025. He faces up to 10 years in prison for burglary and up to 20 years for assault with intent to murder.

The case was investigated by the Menominee Tribal Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Andrew J. Maier and Alexander E. Duros prosecuted the case.

“Richard G. Frohling, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on August 6, 2025, a federal jury in Green Bay found Neegee J. Cloud (age: 32) guilty of burglary and assault with intent to murder in violation of federal law.”
