RAPID CITY – A Rapid City woman has been sentenced to 2 years in federal prison for possessing a firearm as a felon.
Alice High Rock, 33, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Camela C. Theeler on March 23, 2026, for her conviction of Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person.
High Rock was indicted by a federal grand jury in May 2025. She pleaded guilty to the charges on December 8, 2025.
On April 9, 2025, Rapid City Police Department received reports that High Rock was driving a vehicle while intoxicated and discharging a firearm. Enforcement tracked the vehicle to a residence where High Rock was located and found her in possession of a stolen pistol.
High Rock was previously convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year in custody. It is a federal crime to possess a firearm after such a conviction.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the federal government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
High Rock was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office recognizes the efforts of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Rapid City Police Department in investigating this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Schroeder prosecuted the case.
