Woman Charged with Larceny in Eagle Butte
A 33-year-old woman from Eagle Butte, South Dakota, has been charged with larceny, a serious crime that involves the theft of property worth over $1,000. Susan Dillabaugh, age 33, was indicted on January 15, 2014, by a federal grand jury for allegedly taking and carrying away property with the intent to steal and purloin.
According to the indictment, the crime is believed to have taken place between September 23, 2011, and January 9, 2012, with the victim being Pretty Bird Woman House. The property taken had a value of over $1,000.
The maximum penalty for conviction is up to 5 years in custody, a fine of $250,000, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
Dillabaugh appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge William D. Gerdes on January 23, 2014, and pled not guilty to the indictment. The investigation is being conducted by the Office of the Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley prosecuting the case.
The charge is an accusation, and Dillabaugh is presumed innocent until proven guilty. She was released on bond pending trial, with a trial date yet to be set.
This case highlights the importance of property rights and the consequences of taking someone else’s property without permission. The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to protecting the rights of victims and holding perpetrators accountable.
The case is a reminder that larceny is a serious crime that can have significant consequences for those involved. It is essential for individuals to respect the property rights of others and to take the necessary steps to prevent and report theft.
