Colin Colombe, Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, South Dakota 2013

A Lower Brule man has been charged with a violent crime after a federal grand jury indicted him on August 21, 2013.

Colin Colombe, 39, of Lower Brule, South Dakota, is accused of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, a maximum penalty of 10 years of imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, an additional 2 years of supervised release upon revocation, and a mandatory $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

The Indictment alleges that on June 25, 2013, Colombe assaulted two individuals by hitting and kicking them with shod feet with intent to do bodily harm.

The investigation into the crime is being conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges is prosecuting the case.

Colombe was released on bond pending trial, which has not been set.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is 10 years of imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, an additional 2 years of supervised release upon revocation, and a mandatory $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
