United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was sentenced on July 24, 2017, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Joseph Marshall, age 38, was sentenced to 24 months in custody, followed by 5 years of supervised release, restitution in the amount of $99.65, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Marshall was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 19, 2016. He pled guilty on May 2, 2017.

Marshall has previously been convicted of a sex offense in federal court which requires him to register for the rest of his life.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.

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