Rosebud Man Indicted on Assault Charges

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Assault With a Dangerous Weapon and Assault Resulting In Serious Bodily Injury.

Mason Drew Reddy, age 25, was indicted on January 12, 2021.  He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on January 27, 2021, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.  Restitution may also be ordered.

The Indictment alleges that on December 4, 2020, in Todd County, South Dakota, Reddy assaulted an individual with a sharp edged instrument with the intent to do bodily harm, and the assault resulted in serious bodily injury.

The charges are merely accusations and Reddy is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. 

The investigation is being conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Elmore is prosecuting the case.   

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