Sentencing set for Bushyhead Sr.

Sunday, May 14, 2000 | 3:45 a.m.

U.S. District Judge David Hagen set an Aug. 29 sentencing date for William Bushyhead Sr., who was found guilty Friday by a federal jury of murdering Timothy Gardner, 27.

Gardner was sleeping with Bushyhead's former girlfriend, Carey Ziegler, at her home when he was stabbed with a knife.

At the time, Bushyhead was on parole for the false imprisonment of Ziegler in 1996.

Police said he walked away from a residential drug treatment program two days before the stabbing.

Police found a blood-covered Bushyhead outside a nearby home drinking a beer. The knife used to kill Gardner was close by, police said.
