A Winner, South Dakota man has been locked up for breaking into a store in Rosebud, South Dakota and swiping hundreds of dollars’ worth of merchandise.
Anthony Arellano, 21, was sentenced to time served from his arrest on June 15, 2023, through June 14, 2024, equal to approximately one year in custody, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Arellano was further ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,665.00.
The burglary went down in the early morning hours of June 1, 2023, and Arellano was identified on surveillance video from the scene. He was arrested at a residence in St. Francis, South Dakota, on June 15, 2023.
Arellano was indicted by a federal grand jury in August of 2023 and pleaded guilty on January 8, 2024.
This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office took on the case because the Major Crimes Act, a federal statute, mandates that certain violent crimes alleged to have occurred in Indian Country be prosecuted in federal court as opposed to State court.
Arellano was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
This is just the latest example of a federal crackdown on crime in Indian Country, where the U.S. Attorney’s Office is working to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
