Rosebud Man Sentenced for Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer

United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota, man convicted of Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer was sentenced on November 6, 2017, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Conroy Chasing In Timber, age 35, was sentenced to time served in custody until December 1, 2017 (approximately 9 months), 2 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Chasing In Timber was indicted by a federal grand jury on February 15, 2017.  He pled guilty on August 15, 2017.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on December 24, 2016.  On that date, Chasing In Timber was arrested for disorderly conduct and transported to the Rosebud Adult Correctional Facility near Rosebud.  As he was completing the booking process, Chasing Timber struck a corrections officer in the face with a closed fist.

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

Chasing In Timber was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
