Burglar Sentenced: Mission Woman Pleads Guilty to Second Degree Burglary

Tara Makes Room For Them, a 19-year-old Mission woman, has pleaded guilty to Second Degree Burglary, a serious crime that can carry a hefty penalty.

According to reports, Makes Room For Them and her accomplices burglarized homes on the Rosebud Reservation on January 16, 2013. The group took property that did not belong to them, sparking a full-scale investigation by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.

Makes Room For Them will also face 3 years of supervised release and must pay $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Maher, who has been working closely with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe to bring justice to the victims. A presentence investigation was ordered, and a sentencing date has been set for August 28, 2013.

Makes Room For Them will be released from custody until July 2, 2013, when she must self-report to the custody of the U.S. Marshal. This is a significant development in the case, and we will continue to follow it closely. The people of Mission and the Rosebud Reservation demand justice, and we will hold those responsible accountable.
