United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Assault Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury.
Jeremy Iron, age 29, was indicted on May 13, 2014. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on May 21, 2014, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in custody and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The Indictment alleges that on or about Feb. 16, 2014, Iron assaulted the victim with a dangerous weapon, that is, shod feet, and the assault resulted in serious bodily injury to the victim.
The charge is merely an accusation and Iron is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Iron was released to a third party custodian pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
