A man from Lower Brule convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter has been sentenced in federal court.
Eugene Skunk, age 43, must spend 12 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and pay a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
The charge stems from an incident on July 26, 2020, in Lower Brule, where Skunk struck a man while operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Skunk returned to the scene of the incident and self-reported himself as the driver of the vehicle which struck the victim.
Skunk was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
