Pine Ridge Reservation Assault Lands Two Men in Federal Prison
RAPID CITY – In a shocking turn of events, two Pine Ridge, South Dakota men were sentenced to federal prison in connection with an assault on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
According to sources, Angelo Poor Bear, 40, was convicted of Misprision of a Felony and sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison, followed by one year of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Jadan Poor Bear, 31, was convicted of Aiding and Abetting Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury and sentenced to one year and eight months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. The Court ordered Jadan Poor Bear’s prison sentence to be served consecutively to a one year and eight months sentence he received for another assault he committed on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
The assault, which occurred in January 2024, involved Jadan beating the victim with a baseball bat, causing serious injuries. Angelo took steps to prevent law enforcement from discovering the crime.
The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office 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.
This matter was investigated by the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Lindrooth prosecuted the case.
Both men were immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
