Dadra Raye Connors Pleads Guilty to Assault with a Dangerous Weapon in South Dakota
MISSION, SOUTH DAKOTA – Dadra Raye Connors, 35, of Mission, has pleaded guilty to Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, announced United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is 10 years in custody, a $250,000 fine, or both.
The conviction stems from an incident that took place on May 20, 2012, when Connors drove her truck at the victim as he was walking across a gravel road. The victim dove into the ditch to avoid being hit. During the process, a second victim fell out or was ejected from the cargo area of Connors’ truck and was injured.
The investigation was conducted by Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Tim Maher.
Connors was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal.
This case is part of the Department’s commitment to reducing violent crime and improving public safety in Native American communities.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of South Dakota is proud to work with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe to address crime and improve the quality of life for its citizens.
