United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a St. Francis, South Dakota, man convicted of Assault by Striking, Beating and Wounding has pled guilty to the charges and was sentenced on July 12, 2013, by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno.
Andre DeShazier, age 55, was sentenced to 1 year probation and $25 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from an incident that took place on April 4, 2013, when DeShazier punched the victim in the head.
The investigation was conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Maher. DeShazier was released.
