A Rosebud woman was sentenced to a year of probation after stabbing a victim with a butcher knife, according to the U.S. Attorney for South Dakota.
Sarah Richards, 25, was convicted of Assault by Striking, Beating, and Wounding and Simple Assault in connection with the November 30, 2011 incident.
Richards was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 19, 2012 and pled guilty to the charge on January 22, 2013.
The investigation was conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie H. Ruettgers.
