Miles Condon Indicted in Dupree Assault Spree

A Dupree man is facing federal charges after a violent outburst involving a golf club and two confrontations with federal law enforcement. Miles Condon, 25, was indicted October 12, 2016, on charges of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, and two counts of Assaulting, Resisting, Opposing, and Impeding a Federal Officer.

The indictment, handed down by a federal grand jury, alleges Condon attacked a victim with a golf club on August 3, 2016, in Dupree, South Dakota, causing serious bodily injury. The assault unfolded in broad daylight, leaving the victim hospitalized and investigators scrambling for evidence in a case that quickly drew federal attention.

But the violence didn’t stop there. On that same August day—and again on September 7, 2016—Condon allegedly attacked federal law enforcement officers performing their official duties. Each incident involved physical contact, intimidation, and direct interference, triggering federal jurisdiction and stiffer penalties under U.S. law.

Condon appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Moreno on October 14, 2016, where he entered a plea of not guilty. Despite his plea, the charges carry heavy consequences: up to 10 years in prison for the non-officer assaults and up to 8 years for each count involving federal officers. Fines could reach $250,000 per count, with 3 years of supervised release and $100 per count paid to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.

The investigation was led by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services and the Ziebach County Sheriff’s Office, agencies that have seen a surge in cross-jurisdictional cases in rural South Dakota. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller is prosecuting the case, signaling the federal government’s hard line on attacks against law enforcement personnel.

Condon has been remanded to the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending trial. No trial date has been set. The indictment remains an accusation; Miles Condon is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
