Eagle Butte Woman Sentenced for Criminal Contempt
A 25-year-old woman from Eagle Butte, South Dakota, has been sentenced to prison for violating a federal court order.
Demi Marie Gunville was found guilty of Criminal Contempt and was sentenced on December 12, 2017 by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.
According to the indictment, on January 27, 2017, Ms. Gunville agreed to be a third-party custodian for her brother, so he could be released on bond from federal custody. However, she willfully and unlawfully disobeyed the Court’s order, because neither she nor her brother lived at the ranch as ordered.
The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services Narcotics Division investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney SaraBeth Donovan prosecuted the case.
Ms. Gunville was sentenced to 3 days in the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, 27 days of home confinement, a fine of $1,000, and a mandatory special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $10.
Ms. Gunville was ordered to self-report to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service on January 2, 2018.
