MISSION, SOUTH DAKOTA – A Mission woman has been charged with a serious crime after allegedly assaulting a victim with a sharp edged instrument.
According to court documents, Misty Swalley, age 24, was indicted on July 15, 2014, for Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury.
The indictment alleges that on or about June 25, 2014, in Todd County, Swalley assaulted the victim with a dangerous weapon, that is a sharp edged instrument, and the assault resulted in serious bodily injury.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in custody and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charge is merely an accusation and Swalley is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The investigation is being conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Maher is prosecuting the case. Swalley was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal’s Service pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
Brendan V. Johnson, United States Attorney, announced the indictment. Swalley appeared before U.S. Magistrate Mark A. Moreno on July 31, 2014, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The case is a stark reminder of the dangers of violence and the importance of holding those responsible accountable for their actions. As a community, we must work together to prevent such incidents and support those affected by them.
