Grimy Times Exclusive: A disturbing case of assault has come to light in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, where a 27-year-old man was sentenced to 21 months in custody for causing serious bodily injury to a woman.
Carl White Eagle, a resident of Eagle Butte, was convicted of Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury and sentenced by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange on June 20, 2016.
The incident occurred on April 5, 2015, at a residence in Eagle Butte, where White Eagle and some friends were drinking. An argument erupted between White Eagle and his girlfriend, and when the victim walked behind them, White Eagle turned around and assaulted her, knocking her to the floor. The victim required complex plastic surgery to repair the injuries to her lip and mouth.
White Eagle was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service following his sentencing, which included 2 years of supervised release and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The case was investigated by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuting the case.
Eagle Butte, a small town in South Dakota, has seen its fair share of violent crimes, but this case stands out for its brazen nature and the severe injuries inflicted on the victim.
