Rapid City Man Caught with Gun, Sentenced to Prison

A Rapid City man, Jesse D. Grimm, 32, has been sentenced to 12 months and one day in custody for Felon in Possession of a Firearm, a federal crime. Grimm was found to be in possession of a Glock Model 27, inside a backpack in his pickup truck near Rapid City on January 20, 2014.

Grimm’s conviction stems from a previous felony conviction of Aggravated Assault (Domestic Abuse) on January 2, 2009. He was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 18, 2014, and pleaded guilty on June 26, 2014.

U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced the sentencing, which was carried out by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court. As part of his sentence, Grimm will also serve three years of supervised release and pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

The case was investigated by the Division of Criminal Investigation and the Rapid City Police Department, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Ted L. McBride prosecuting the case. Grimm was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service after the sentencing.

The incident highlights the importance of stricter gun laws for convicted felons and the need for law enforcement agencies to work together to prevent such crimes. The U.S. Attorney’s office has pledged to continue its efforts in combating violent crime in South Dakota.

Grimm’s sentence serves as a warning to those who would seek to possess firearms despite previous felony convictions. The U.S. Attorney’s office will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that those who break the law are held accountable.
