Rapid City Man Charged with Burglary, Assault
Leroy Wayne Brown Bull Sr., a 24-year-old resident of Rapid City, South Dakota, has been charged with a serious crime after a federal grand jury indicted him for Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Burglary.
According to the indictment, Brown Bull and another person broke into a home near Kyle in November of 2013, and assaulted a man. The maximum penalty upon conviction is 25 years’ imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and a $100 assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charges against Brown Bull are merely accusations, and he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. Brown Bull appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on December 1, 2014, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Justice Services, and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah B. Collins is prosecuting the case.
Brown Bull was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. A trial date has not been set.
The charges against Brown Bull are a serious reminder of the importance of public safety and the need for effective law enforcement. The community will be watching this case closely as it unfolds.
As a community, we must stand together to prevent such crimes from happening. We urge anyone with information about this case to come forward and assist the authorities in their investigation.
