United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rapid City, South Dakota, man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was sentenced on August 20, 2018, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Troy Sampson, age 40, was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
