United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Second Degree Burglary, Larceny, and Possession of a Stolen Firearm.
Shilo Hill, a/k/a Shilo Robideau, age 18, was indicted on July 15, 2014. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on July 22, 2014, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
