A Bowling Green was sentenced after committing a domestic assault in Mammoth Cave National Park last year.
According to court documents, 40-year-old Rakan F. Elsalem was sentenced to 37 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for committing a domestic assault as a habitual offender.
The charge stems from an incident that occurred on May 1, 2023, within the Mammoth Cave National Park.
According to the press release, at the time of the assault, Elsalem had two prior convictions for offenses that would have been, if subject to federal jurisdiction, an assault against a spouse or intimate partner.
This includes previous convictions of fourth-degree assault on September 22, 2020, and on January 24, 2022, in Warren District Court.
There is no parole in the federal system.
This case was investigated by the National Park Service Law Enforcement Rangers.
