A Muldrow man pleaded guilty in federal court in Muskogee Tuesday to charges of burglary and assault after stabbing his brother in the arm with a knife last month.

Donald Sevenstar, 38, was charged in January in a three-count indictment, including two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon in Indian Country and one count of burglary in Indian Country.

The charges stemmed from a Jan. 13 incident at his home and at the home of a family member. Both houses are located on a restricted Indian allotment in the Nicut community north of Muldrow.

After consuming a large quantity of alcohol, Sevenstar stabbed his brother in the arm with a knife, and his brother ran from the home. Sevenstar then went to the nearby home of another relative where he broke down the door, threatened the occupant with a knife, and demanded to know where his brother was hiding. His brother escaped additional injury by seeking refuge at another neighbor's house.

As part of a plea agreement with the United States, Sevenstar agreed to plead guilty to stabbing his brother, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee.

Sentencing will be scheduled after the completion of a pre-sentencing investigation. Sevenstar faces up to 10 years in prison, a three-year term of supervised release, and up to a $250,000 fine.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
