Mission Man Sentenced for Burglary

United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man convicted of Third Degree Burglary was sentenced on September 5, 2017, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Preston White Feather, age 21, was sentenced to 8 months in prison 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 also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $3,815.

White Feather was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 16, 2017. He pled guilty on June 27, 2017.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred in the early morning hours of September 17, 2016. At approximately 5:00 a.m., White Feather broke into the Todd County Achievement School in Mission and stole property belonging to the Exceptional Education Department.

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

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