Crime Wave Hits Rosebud: Woman Accused of Hiding Fugitive
A 24-year-old Rosebud woman is behind bars, accused of harboring a fugitive on the lam. Samantha Spotted War Bonnet, 24, was indicted on November 13, 2014, on charges of Concealing Person From Arrest.
According to the indictment, Spotted War Bonnet allegedly hid the fugitive between June 12, 2014, and June 13, 2014. The U.S. Marshals Service and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services are leading the investigation.
