Assault Charges Hit Okreek Woman
A 24-year-old woman from Okreek, South Dakota, has been charged with a serious crime after a federal grand jury indicted her on assault charges.
Selena Chief Eagle, 24, was accused of using a dangerous weapon to assault an individual with intent to do bodily harm. The incident allegedly occurred on January 10, 2017.
According to court documents, Chief Eagle used a knife to assault the victim, resulting in serious bodily injury. The maximum penalty for each charge is up to 10 years in custody and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The investigation is being conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson is prosecuting the case.
Chief Eagle appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on February 22, 2017, and pled not guilty to the Indictment. She was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial.
A trial date has not been set, but Chief Eagle is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The charge is merely an accusation, and she is entitled to a fair trial.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of community safety and the consequences of violent behavior.
