For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of South Dakota
United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man convicted of Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer was sentenced on April 15, 2020, by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno.
Silas Condon, age 24, was sentenced to 2 years probation with 4 months home detention, restitution of $349, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $25.
Condon was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 15, 2020. He pled guilty on April 15, 2020.
The conviction stemmed from an incident on December 6, 2019, when law enforcement was dispatched to remove Condon from a residence due to his intoxication. As law enforcement escorted Condon out of the residence, Condon was verbally abusive and spit on, kicked, and struck the officers multiple times.
This case was investigated by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.
Condon released following his sentencing hearing.
