Man Sentenced for Assault on Rosebud Reservation
A Mission, South Dakota, man has been sentenced for assault charges stemming from an altercation on the Rosebud Reservation.
Kenneth Black Wolf, age 24, was sentenced to 12 months’ probation for Assault by Striking, Beating and Wounding, and 6 months’ probation for Simple Assault. He was also ordered to pay $20 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from an incident that took place on January 28, 2013, when Black Wolf struck and bit the victim’s nose during the altercation.
The investigation was conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie H. Ruettgers.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno handed down the sentence on July 12, 2013. Black Wolf was released after serving no time in prison.
Black Wolf’s sentencing may bring some closure to the victim, but questions remain about the nature of the altercation that led to the assault.
