Burglar Caught at Ellsworth Air Force Base
A Box Elder, South Dakota, man has been indicted for allegedly breaking into a building at Ellsworth Air Force Base on March 2, 2013.
Corey Roney, age 18 at the time of the incident, was indicted on July 23, 2013, for third degree burglary, destruction of government property, and larceny. The maximum penalty upon conviction is 5 years of imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
Roney appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on July 25, 2013, and pled not guilty to the indictment. The charges are merely accusations, and Roney is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation into the burglary is being conducted by the United States Air Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Wayne Venhuizen is prosecuting the case.
Roney was released on bond pending trial. A trial date has not been set for the 18-year-old defendant.
The alleged burglary at Ellsworth Air Force Base is a serious crime that should not be taken lightly. If convicted, Roney could face a lengthy prison sentence and a substantial fine.
The United States Attorney’s Office will continue to work closely with the United States Air Force to ensure that justice is served in this case.
