A St. Francis man convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance has been sentenced by a federal court judge.
Richard Charles Young, a/k/a RC Young, age 46, was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, a $1,000 fine, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
The conviction stemmed from a conspiracy that occurred between January 2015 and December 2019. During this time, Young conspired with several others to distribute between 200 and 350 grams of methamphetamine on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in central South Dakota.
This case is being prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state, and local Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts.
This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Meghan N. Dilges prosecuted the case.
Young was immediately remanded to the custody of the US Marshals Service.
