Lower Brule Man Charged in Brutal Assault
A 39-year-old Lower Brule man has been hit with serious charges after allegedly assaulting two individuals with his feet.
Colin Colombe, 39, was indicted by a federal grand jury on August 21, 2013, for Assault with a Dangerous Weapon. According to the indictment, Colombe assaulted the victims on June 25, 2013, by hitting and kicking them with his shod feet with the intent to do bodily harm.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is 10 years of imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, an additional 2 years of supervised release upon revocation, and a mandatory $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
Colombe appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on September 4, 2013, and pled not guilty to the indictment.
Colombe was released on bond pending trial, which has not been set. The investigation is being conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges handling the case.
The charge is merely an accusation, and Colombe is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of violent crime and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
