Wanblee Man Sentenced for Marijuana Distribution
A Wanblee man has been held accountable for his crimes in a South Dakota court. On January 14, 2013, Chief U.S. District Judge Jeffrey L. Viken sentenced 32-year-old Royce Gone for his role in distributing more than 5 grams of marijuana at Wanblee, South Dakota.
According to court documents, Gone was involved in the distribution of the controlled substance on April 3, 2012. He later pleaded guilty to the charge on October 11, 2012. Gone’s actions resulted in a sentence of time served, 2 years’ supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Victims’ Assistance Fund.
The investigation into Gone’s crimes was a collaborative effort involving the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Justice Services, the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety, the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ted L. McBride was responsible for prosecuting the case against Gone. His dedication to seeking justice for the people of South Dakota is a testament to his commitment to upholding the law.
The sentencing of Royce Gone serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in illicit activities. It also highlights the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies in bringing those responsible to justice.
As the people of South Dakota continue to face the challenges of crime and addiction, it is crucial that we prioritize the work of law enforcement and the prosecution of those who would seek to harm our communities. By doing so, we can work towards a safer and more just society for all.
With this case closed, the people of South Dakota can rest a little easier knowing that justice has been served. The Grimy Times will continue to monitor the situation and bring you updates as more information becomes available.
