Northern Arizona Man Sentenced in Shooting Case

PHOENIX (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a northern Arizona man to five years in prison for shooting a man in the face.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Phoenix says 33-year-old Philbert Johnson Slim of Teesto pleaded Dec. 10, to possession of a firearm during a crime of violence on the Navajo Nation.

Court papers say that on June 15, 2008, Slim became upset with the victim and his brothers after he believed they broke the windows out of his house while he was sleeping.

Slim took a gun to the victim’s home and shot the victim in the face, resulting in serious injuries.

The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
