Eagle Butte Man Charged with Failure to Appear

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Failure to Appear and Contempt.

Brady One Feather, age 30, was indicted on June 12, 2018.  He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on June 28, 2018, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 5 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.
