St. Francis Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Domestic Assault
Pierre, SD – A St. Francis man has been sentenced to federal prison for Domestic Assault by a Habitual Offender, announced United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell.
Edward Wilson, a/k/a Eddie Wilson, age 41, was sentenced to three years and nine months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The crime took place on May 29, 2023, shortly after 8:00 am, when Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services responded to a 911 call from the victim in St. Francis. The victim reported to officers that Wilson had assaulted her the night prior, punching her in the face and kicking her in the body numerous times.
The responding officers noticed marks on the victim’s face and body consistent with her statement. Wilson has previously been convicted of domestic assault on two separate occasions in U.S. District Court, District of South Dakota.
This matter was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office because the Major Crimes Act, a federal statute, mandates that certain violent crimes alleged to have occurred in Indian Country be prosecuted in Federal court as opposed to State court.
This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Abby Roesler prosecuted the case.
Wilson was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
