Black Hawk Man Sentenced for Criminal Contempt

United States Attorney Dennis Holmes announced that a Black Hawk, South Dakota, man convicted of Criminal Contempt was sentenced on April 12, 2022, by U.S. District Court Judge Charles B. Kornmann.

Alan Frederick Dillon, age 56, was sentenced to six months in federal prison and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $10.

Dillon was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 16, 2019.  He pled guilty on April 12, 2022.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on May 16, 2019, in Pierre, South Dakota, in which Dillon willfully and unlawfully failed to appear for a court hearing to which he was summoned.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Rapid City Police Department.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron J. Cook prosecuted the case.

Dillon was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
