A 39-year-old man from Little Eagle, South Dakota, has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for possessing a stolen firearm.
Keith Looking Back was convicted of Possession of a Stolen Firearm after a lengthy investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Rapid City Police Department.
According to the evidence presented in court, Looking Back knowingly possessed a stolen SIG Sauer, model SIG MCX, 5.56 caliber semi-automatic rifle, which had been stolen by other individuals from Pawn With Us in Rapid City in April 2020.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime by focusing enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partnering with locally based prevention and reentry programs.
Looking Back was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 11, 2020, and pleaded guilty on May 26, 2021.
As part of his sentence, Looking Back was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund and will be subject to three years of supervised release after serving his prison term.
Looking Back was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
