Pierre, SD – United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced a stern sentence for Tredell Long Crow, a 27-year-old from Ideal, South Dakota. Crow was handed down five years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $200 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The sentence, announced on April 24, 2024, comes after Crow’s conviction for Larceny and being a Prohibited Person in Possession of a Firearm. Long Crow also faces restitution of $1,786.66.
Long Crow was indicted by a federal grand jury in September 2023 and pleaded guilty on February 1, 2024. The charges stemmed from a July 2023 incident where he stole a vehicle and later brandished and discharged a firearm during an argument in Ideal.
In addition to the current convictions, Long Crow has a prior conviction for Possession of a Controlled Drug or Substance in Minnehaha County, South Dakota, which makes it illegal for him to possess firearms or ammunition.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence. Prosecuted under the Major Crimes Act, the case was investigated by local law enforcement agencies including the Sioux Falls Police Department, Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, Tripp County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case, leading to Long Crow’s immediate remand to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
