Santa Fe man gets 3 ½ years on federal assault convictions

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A man was sentenced to 3 ½ years in prison for his guilty plea to assaulting a woman two years ago in a Santa Fe home. Patrick Yazzie-Tso was sentenced Tuesday for his earlier guilty plea on federal assault charges. Authorities say the 28-year-old from Santa Fe assaulted the woman in December 2015 by punching her in the face, hitting her over the head with a large painting canvas, chocking her by wrapping his hands around her neck and threatening to kill her.
