Adrian Hawkman, 35, Sentenced for Habitual Domestic Assault in South Dakota
In a shocking display of violence, Adrian Hawkman, 35, of Parmelee, South Dakota, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for his role in a horrific habitual domestic assault case.
The incident, which occurred on February 23, 2019, at Hawkman’s home in Parmelee, left his domestic partner battered and bruised. At the time, Hawkman had already racked up two prior convictions in the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court for domestic abuse.
Hawkman’s downward spiral began when he was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 11, 2019. He eventually pleaded guilty to the charges on January 15, 2020. The guilty plea came after a thorough investigation by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case, bringing Hawkman to justice for his heinous crimes. Hawkman was immediately taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service after the sentencing.
Hawkman’s sentence includes 18 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100. The harsh sentence reflects the severity of Hawkman’s crimes and serves as a warning to others who may be tempted to commit similar acts of violence.
The case is a stark reminder of the devastating effects of domestic violence and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. As the nation continues to grapple with the issue of domestic violence, cases like Hawkman’s serve as a sobering reminder of the need for continued action and reform.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Ron Parsons emphasized the importance of protecting victims of domestic violence and ensuring that perpetrators face justice. Parsons’ office will continue to work tirelessly to bring perpetrators of domestic violence to justice and to provide support to victims and their families.
