A 32 year old man from Wanblee convicted of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury has been sentenced by a federal judge.
Paige Aaron Chipps must spend eight years and six months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $200 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Chipps assaulting a woman in her home in Wanblee in February 2021 by kicking her while wearing boots. The woman then went outside and fell in the snow and was unable to get up due to her injuries, eventually dying of hypothermia.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Criminal Investigators.
