South Dakota authorities have charged a local man with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
Sydney Garreau, age 43, was indicted by a federal grand jury for Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance on August 9, 2022.
The indictment alleges that between approximately February 1, 2021, and August 9, 2022, on the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation, Garreau conspired with others to knowingly and intentionally distribute and possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 40 years in prison and/or a $5,000,000 fine, a lifetime of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
Garreau appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on August 15, 2022, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The investigation is being conducted by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges is prosecuting the case.
Garreau was detained pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
The charge is merely an accusation and Garreau is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
