A 38-year-old man from Fort Thompson convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter has been sentenced by a US District Court judge.
Antoine Medicine Crow, Jr. was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release.
The conviction stemmed from an incident in April 2019, in Buffalo County, on the Crow Creek Reservation, when Medicine Crow operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Medicine Crow attempted to pass another vehicle, at a high rate of speed, and lost control of the car. The vehicle careened into the ditch and rolled over multiple times. Medicine Crow and another individual were both ejected from the car, with the ejected passenger ultimately dying from her injuries.
Medicine Crow was immediately turned over to the custody of the US Marshals Service.
