Rosebud Woman Indicted for Assault of and Threatening a Federal Officer

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota, woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer and Influencing a Federal Officer by Threat.

Jamie E. Oliver, a/k/a Jamie E. Decory, age 34, was indicted on February 11, 2020.  She appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on February 26, 2020, 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, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.  Restitution may also be ordered.

The Indictment alleges that on October 6, 2019, Oliver did forcibly assault, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with and threaten to murder a law enforcement officer who was employed by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.

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

Oliver was released on bond pending trial.  A trial date has not been set.
