Kolby Longbrake, a 24-year-old man from Eagle Butte, South Dakota, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Larceny and Misprision of a Felony, alongside two accomplices, Kelan Gesinger, 28, and Matthew Houston, 21, from Howes and Eagle Butte, South Dakota respectively.
The indictment alleges that between January 15, 2016, and April 3, 2016, Longbrake unlawfully took and carried away items valued at more than $1,000. Additionally, it is alleged that between March 11, 2016, and April 23, 2016, Longbrake, Gesinger, and Houston, stole a 2002 Delta 24′ goose neck trailer, valued at more than $1,000. All three defendants concealed stealing the neck trailer and did not, as soon as possible, make known the same to a judge or other person in civil authority under the United States.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 5 years in custody and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and up to $300 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
Longbrake and Houston were released on conditions pending trial, and Gesinger was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
The investigation is being conducted by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller is prosecuting the case.
The charges are merely accusations and Longbrake, Gesinger, and Houston are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
