Mission Man Sentenced for Assault With a Dangerous Weapon

Acting United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man convicted of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon was sentenced on September 9, 2015, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Kenneth Littlewolf, a/k/a Kenneth Little Wolf, age 27, was sentenced to 44 months in custody, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a special assessment of $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Littlewolf was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 10, 2015. He pled guilty on June 24, 2015.

The conviction stems from an incident on January 31, 2015, when Littlewolf was at a bar near Mission, and was asked to give a ride to two people. Littlewolf agreed, but got into an argument with them and stabbed both people. The bar owner, along with another bartender, broke up that fight, but Littlewolf, who was wearing work boots, kicked and stabbed the victims.  The bar owner and the bartender again tried to stop Littlewolf, who ultimately fled the area in his vehicle.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy M. Maher prosecuted the case.

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