Rapid City Man Charged with Possession of a Stolen Firearm
United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced today that a Rapid City man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Possession of a Stolen Firearm.
Login Cook, age 19, was indicted on April 21, 2022, in connection with the charge. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Daneta Wollmann on April 29, 2022, and pleaded not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is 10 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charge stems from Cook knowingly possessing a stolen Glock 9mm semi-automatic pistol in December 2021 in Rapid City. The charge is merely an accusation and Cook is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.
The investigation is being conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Patterson is prosecuting the case. Cook was detained pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
