A brutal assault at the Rosebud Casino in Todd County, South Dakota, has led to a harsh sentence for a local woman.
Julia Swift Hawk, a 26-year-old resident of Todd County, was convicted of Assault With a Dangerous Weapon and faced Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court, on May 11, 2021, for sentencing.
Swift Hawk was found guilty of assaulting another individual with a utility knife with the intent to do bodily harm on January 14, 2020, outside the Rosebud Casino.
The investigation was conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Elmore prosecuted the case.
According to the court, Swift Hawk was sentenced to time served through May 18, 2021, equal to three months incarceration, followed by two years of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Swift Hawk was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, marking the end of her freedom.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of violence and the consequences of committing such crimes.
