CHERRY CREEK, SD – Myron Flying By Jr., 25, of Cherry Creek, South Dakota, is facing serious federal charges following an indictment for Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury. The incident, allegedly occurring on January 19, 2019, left one individual with significant injuries, according to documents filed with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced the indictment handed down by a federal grand jury on April 9, 2019. The details are grim: Flying By Jr. is accused of a violent attack that caused substantial harm to the victim. While details surrounding the incident remain sealed, the charge itself speaks to the severity of the alleged injuries.
Flying By Jr. appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on April 30, 2019, and entered a plea of not guilty to the Indictment. He was released on conditions pending trial, meaning he remains free – for now – while the legal process unfolds. No trial date has been set at this time.

The maximum penalty also includes a hefty fine of $250,000, three years of supervised release following incarceration, and a mandatory $100 payment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution to the victim may also be ordered by the court.
The investigation into this brutal assault was conducted by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, demonstrating a collaborative effort between tribal and federal authorities. Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron J. Cook is leading the prosecution, tasked with proving Flying By Jr.’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
