A 39-year-old Rosebud man has been charged with multiple firearm violations and assault with a dangerous weapon after a federal grand jury indicted him, according to a recent indictment.
Clyde Aquallo, a resident of Rosebud, South Dakota, was indicted on April 22, 2014, for Possession of Unregistered Firearm, Prohibited Person in Possession of Firearm, Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Using and Carrying a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence.
The indictment alleges that on or about February 27, 2014, Aquallo, being an unlawful user of a controlled substance, knowingly received and possessed several firearms, one of which was a short barreled shotgun that was not registered to Aquallo.
On or about March 3, 2014, Aquallo allegedly assaulted the victim with a rifle, and did carry and use the firearm during a crime of violence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to life in custody and/or a $250,000 fine, 5 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charges are merely accusations and Aquallo is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The investigation into this case is being conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Maher is prosecuting the case, which has a trial date set for July 1, 2014. Aquallo was released to a third party custodian pending trial.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of South Dakota reminds the public that the charges are merely accusations and that Aquallo is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
