Lantry Man Charged in Fatal Crash

A 19-year-old Lantry man is facing serious charges after a fatal car crash in Ziebach County. Charg Hebb, 19, was indicted by a federal grand jury on February 13, 2013, for involuntary manslaughter.

The indictment stems from a car crash that occurred on October 12, 2012, on County Road 50 in Ziebach County. According to investigators, the crash resulted in the death of a young man who was a passenger in Hebb’s vehicle. Hebb appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on February 25, 2013, and pled not guilty to the indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is not more than 8 years in custody, a $250,000 fine, or both; 3 years of supervised release; and a $100 special assessment. Restitution may also be ordered. Hebb was released on bond pending trial and a trial date has not been set.

The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikal Hanson is prosecuting the case. Hebb is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

The case serves as a tragic reminder of the devastating consequences of reckless driving. As our community continues to grapple with the effects of this crash, we must also acknowledge the importance of holding those responsible accountable for their actions.

Hebb’s indictment marks a significant step in the pursuit of justice for the victim’s family. As the case moves forward, our thoughts are with those affected by this tragedy.

We will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
