Pierre Woman Sentenced for Making False Statements
A local woman has been sentenced for making false statements to a federal agency, the Grimy Times has learned.
Kelsey Howe, age 20, was sentenced to 2 months in custody, 1 year of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The charges stem from an incident on October 31, 2013, when law enforcement received information that Jason Garreau, an individual they were searching for following a shooting with law enforcement, had called family from a telephone number associated with Howe’s trailer home in Pierre.
Howe was stopped by law enforcement a few blocks away and was asked if anyone was inside her residence. She said no one was inside the home, and said she had not seen Garreau in the past two weeks.
However, Howe was then confronted by an officer with the drug task force about lying to the officers. She finally stated that she knew Garreau, and he was, in fact, inside her residence at the time.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges prosecuted the case.
Howe was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
