Fort Thompson Woman Charged And Sentenced For Assault
A disturbing incident in Fort Thompson, South Dakota has led to a guilty verdict and sentencing for Mary St. John, 58, also known as Mary Hoisington. On June 10, 2014, U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno sentenced St. John to 6 months of custody, 1 year of supervised release, $500 in restitution, and a $25 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from an incident that took place on January 19, 2014, when St. John assaulted a female victim, causing multiple bruises and abrasions to her head and body. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges, who worked tirelessly to bring the perpetrator to justice.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Crow Creek Law Enforcement Agency, who gathered evidence and pieced together the events surrounding the assault. Their diligent work was instrumental in securing the conviction.
According to reports, St. John was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, bringing an end to her period of freedom. The community can rest a little easier knowing that the perpetrator has been held accountable for their actions.
