A disturbing case of domestic violence has come to an end in Pukwana, South Dakota. Samuel Antelope, a 32-year-old resident of Pukwana, has been sentenced to 12 months in prison for his role in a brutal assault.
The assault occurred on November 3, 2012, at a home in Fort Thompson. Antelope, along with the victims’ boyfriend, had come to the home to drink alcohol. However, an argument quickly turned physical, and Antelope struck the victims multiple times with his hands and fists.
The victims suffered severe injuries, with one suffering a black eye, multiple bruises, and swelling to her face and body. The second victim required three stitches to repair an upper lip laceration.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno handed down the sentence on July 10, 2013, imposing six months of imprisonment on each count, to be served consecutively. Antelope was also ordered to pay a $20 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The investigation into the assault was conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges prosecuting the case. Antelope was immediately taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic violence. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
