Justice White Horse, Third Degree Burglary, South Dakota 2022

PIERRE, South Dakota – In a shocking turn of events, Justice White Horse, a 20-year-old resident of Mission, South Dakota, has been sentenced for Third Degree Burglary. The crime took place on February 8, 2022, at the unoccupied Buffalo Brew coffee shop on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation.

According to the indictment, White Horse entered the coffee shop with the intent to commit larceny, but was not licensed or privileged to be in the business at the time of the offense. The case was investigated by Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Abby Roesler prosecuting the case.

On April 2022, White Horse was indicted for Third Degree Burglary by a federal grand jury. He pleaded guilty on September 1, 2022, and was subsequently sentenced to 11 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

As part of his sentence, White Horse was ordered to pay $230 in restitution and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. He was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

The sentencing took place on December 12, 2022, with Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange presiding over the case. White Horse’s guilty plea and subsequent sentence mark a significant blow to the community, and serve as a reminder of the consequences of committing crimes.

The case highlights the importance of community vigilance and cooperation in preventing and solving crimes. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services and the U.S. Attorney’s Office worked tirelessly to bring White Horse to justice, and their efforts are to be commended.
