An Eagle Butte man convicted of Robbery has been sentenced in federal US District Court.
Colton White Feather must spend 52 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and pay a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100. The dollar amount of restitution was left open for 60 days.
The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on December 24, 2020. White Feather entered a convenience store in Eagle Butte wearing a black baseball cap, a grey hoodie sweatshirt pulled up over his head, a dark blue bandana across his face, jeans, and white tennis shoes. The combination of the hoodie pulled up over his head, the baseball cap, and the bandana covered much of his face. White Feather was brandishing a knife. White Feather went behind the counter, grabbed one of the store clerks, and yelled at him to open the cash register. The clerk complied and backed away. White Feather grabbed money out of the cash register. He also demanded cigarettes, which were put on the counter by a clerk and taken by White Feather. White Feather then ran out of the store.
This case was investigated by Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.
White Feather was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
