For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of South Dakota

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rapid City, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Escape from Custody.

Daniel Red Horse, age 49, was indicted on August 13, 2019.  He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on September 3, 2019, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 5 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.  Restitution may also be ordered.

The Indictment alleges that between June 19, 2019, and August 13, 2019, Red Horse knowingly escaped from the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons, where he was lawfully confined for the offense of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender.

The charge is merely an accusation and Red Horse is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. 

The investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller is prosecuting the case.   

Red Horse was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial.  A trial date has not been set.
