Rapid City Man Sentenced for Firearm Offenses
A Rapid City man has been sentenced to prison for multiple firearm offenses, announced United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler.
Patrick Harding, age 59, was sentenced to 20 months of imprisonment, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $200 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Harding, a previously convicted felon, knowingly possessing a stolen Glock, model 23C, .40 caliber pistol in Rapid City.
Harding was charged on November 19, 2014, and was found guilty of both offenses after a three-day federal jury trial in January 2016.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Rapid City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Patterson prosecuted the case.
The sentencing was carried out by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court, on June 2, 2016.
