United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for First Degree Burglary, Larceny, Possession of a Stolen Firearm, and Possession of a Firearm by a Felon.

Judson His Law, age 24, was indicted on May 14, 2019.  He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on May 30, 2019, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is 25 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.  Restitution may also be ordered.

The Indictment alleges that on February 13, 2019, His Law unlawfully entered and remained in an occupied residence with the intent to commit the crime of larceny and that he in fact stole a firearm and a Dodge Challenger Hellcat from the residence. The Indictment further alleges that His Law possessed a firearm having previously been convicted of a felony offense.

The charges are merely accusations and His Law is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. 

The investigation is being conducted by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron J. Cook is prosecuting the case.   

His Law was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial.  A trial date has not been set.
