Eagle Butte Woman Charged with Assault
An Eagle Butte woman has been charged with a serious crime after allegedly assaulting another woman following a car crash near the town.
Kenna Bridwell, 28, was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 14, 2014, for Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, according to U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson.
The alleged assault occurred in November 2013 and left a woman severely injured. Bridwell appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on January 17, 2014, and pleaded not guilty to the indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in custody and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The investigation is being conducted by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Division, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikal Hanson prosecuting the case.
Bridwell was released on bond pending trial, with a trial date yet to be set. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and the charge is merely an accusation.
The case serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of violent behavior. As the investigation continues, the community is left to wonder what led to the alleged assault.
