A Porcupine man, Lucas J. Tail, has been sentenced to time served and 3 years of supervised release after being convicted of Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury.
Lucas J. Tail, age 19, was sentenced to 3 years of supervised release and ordered to pay $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. This punishment comes after Tail pleaded guilty to stabbing a man with a knife on June 2012 at Pine Ridge.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Sarah B. Collins prosecuted the case.
The incident occurred in June 2012 on the Pine Ridge reservation.
Tail, a 19-year-old, pleaded guilty to the crime on December 5, 2012, before being sentenced on May 3, 2013, by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, United States District Court.
Brendan V. Johnson, United States Attorney, announced the sentencing.
