Two Rapid City women, Tina LaDeaux, 40, and Lori Brave, 37, have been indicted by a federal grand jury for concealing a person from arrest and making false statements to a law enforcement agent.
According to the indictment, LaDeaux and Brave were charged on January 23, 2013, for Concealing Person From Arrest and False Statement. The maximum penalty upon conviction is 5 years’ imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine.
