Mission Man Sentenced for Assault

United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man convicted of Assault by Striking, Beating, or Wounding was sentenced on December 19, 2017, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Dace Lunderman, age 33, was sentenced to 319 days in prison, followed by 1 year of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $25.

Lunderman was indicted by a federal grand jury on February 15, 2017.  He pled guilty on December 19, 2017.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred in the White Horse Community near Mission, in the early morning hours of January 6, 2017.  Lunderman had been drinking at home and began arguing with a family member.  He then picked up a knife and chased after two other individuals that were trying to depart the house.  He ran into them near the doorway and cut one of them on the arm with the knife.

This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.

Lunderman was ordered to surrender to the U.S. Marshals Service by noon on December 27, 2017.
