An Eagle Butte woman has been sentenced for her role in forging checks and failing to appear in court.
On February 28, 2017, U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange sentenced Daryl Eagle Horse, a/k/a Daryl Hawk Eagle, to 2 years of probation on the Forgery charge and 6 months in custody on the Failure to Appear charge.
Eagle Horse, 29, was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $500.00, as well as a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $200.00.
The forgery conviction stems from an incident on May 29, 2016, when Eagle Horse, along with two other co-defendants forged 17 checks on the account of the Cheyenne River Management Corporation. Eagle Horse cashed two of those 17 fraudulent checks.
Eagle Horse made her initial appearance for the forgeries on October 14, 2016, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Moreno. She was released on a Personal Recognizance Bond that same day. Eagle Horse’s arraignment was scheduled for Tuesday, November 1, 2016, at 1:15 p.m. She failed to appear for said hearing. The hearing was re-scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 2, 2016. Eagle Horse failed to appear for that hearing as well.
This case was investigated by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services and the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.
Eagle Horse was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
Eagle Horse was indicted by a federal grand jury on October 12, 2016 on the Forgery charge and on November 8, 2016 on the Failure to Appear charge. She pled guilty on December 12, 2016, to both charges.
