Woman Charged with Distribution of Controlled Substance

A 30-year-old woman from Fort Yates, North Dakota, has been accused of distributing a controlled substance to a person under the age of 21.

April Pretends Eagle was indicted by a federal grand jury on October 16, 2012, for two counts: Distribution of a Controlled Substance to a Person Under the Age of 21 and Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance.

According to the indictment, Pretends Eagle appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on February 8, 2013, and pled not guilty to the charges.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is 10 years of imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, or both; 4 years of supervised release and an additional 2 years of supervised release upon revocation.

The investigation is being conducted by the Northern Plains Save Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn N. Rich is prosecuting the case.

Pretends Eagle was remanded to the custody of the US Marshal. A trial date has been set for April 1, 2013. The charges are merely accusations, and Pretends Eagle is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Restitution may also be ordered in this case. The investigation is ongoing, and further information will be provided as it becomes available.
