Eagle Butte Man Sentenced for Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury

United States Attorney Ronald A. Parsons, Jr. announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man convicted of Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury was sentenced on January 2, 2018, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Colton White Feather, age 23, was sentenced to 41 months in custody, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

White Feather was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 16, 2017.  He pled guilty on October 17, 2017.

The conviction stemmed from an incident on July 28 and 29, 2016, when White Feather went to an individual’s home with a 3/4" wooden mop handle and ended up in a dispute with people who were present and swung the mop handle, hitting the victim in the head which resulted in the victim breaking her jaw.

This case was investigated by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.

White Feather was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
