Eagle Butte Man Stole Neighbor’s Jeep
An Eagle Butte man has been sentenced for stealing a 2007 gray Jeep Laredo from someone’s driveway.
On October 23, 2013, Torin DeWitt, 25, stole the vehicle, leading to a lengthy investigation by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Police Department.
DeWitt was indicted by a federal grand jury on November 14, 2013, and pleaded guilty to the crime on December 18, 2013.
U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange handed down the sentence on March 10, 2014. DeWitt received 10 months in custody, 2 years of supervised release, $3,310.07 in restitution, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case. DeWitt was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat property crimes in rural areas. It also serves as a reminder of the consequences for those who choose to engage in such behavior.
Torin DeWitt’s sentence sends a clear message that stealing someone’s property will not be taken lightly.
