Reservation murder suspect sent to halfway house

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) - A Cannon Ball woman accused of killing

her boyfriend has been released to a halfway house while her case

proceeds through federal court.

Twenty-six-year-old Ivanna Red Bow allegedly stabbed Loren Uses

Arrow in the chest during an argument in her home on Dec. 30. Court

documents say he was later pronounced dead at a Fort Yates

hospital.

The Bismarck Tribune reports that Red Bow claimed in court she

was acting in self-defense. She is due back in court for a

preliminary hearing Jan. 14.

The Standing Rock Reservation straddles the North Dakota-South

Dakota border.
