Camille Touche, 26, Faces 5 Years in Prison and $250,000 Fine for Escape from Custody

MOBRIIDGE, S.D. – A Mobridge woman has been indicted for leaving the Community Alternatives of the Black Hills on December 15, 2012, and not returning. Camille Touche, age 26, was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 8, 2013, for Escape from Custody.

Touche appeared before United States Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on January 9, 2013, and pled not guilty to the indictment. The maximum penalty upon conviction is 5 years of imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.

The charge is merely an accusation, and Touche is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The investigation is being conducted by the United States Marshal’s Service.

Assistant United States Attorney Eric Kelderman is prosecuting the case. Touche was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal. A trial date has not yet been set.

The indictment is a serious reminder that attempting to escape from custody has severe consequences. We take all incidents of this nature seriously and will continue to work to bring those responsible to justice.

U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson emphasized the importance of upholding the law and ensuring public safety. ‘We will continue to work tirelessly to protect our communities and bring those who break the law to account for their actions,’ he said.

The indictment serves as a warning to those who would attempt to escape from custody. We urge anyone with information about such incidents to come forward and assist us in our investigation.
