A federal grand jury has determined there is enough evidence to charge a 26 year old Eagle Butte woman with Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury.
Toni Carole Cochran pled not guilty.
The Indictment alleges that on November 3, 2021, in Dewey County, South Dakota, Cochran assaulted a woman and that assault resulted in serious bodily injury.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The investigation is being conducted by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl Thunem is prosecuting the case.
Cochran was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
