RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA
A Rapid City man has been sentenced to federal prison for assaulting a federal officer in South Dakota.
Steven James Quiver, 46, of Wanblee, South Dakota, was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison, followed by one year of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Quiver was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
U.S. Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced the sentencing, which took place on December 20, 2022.
