United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance.
Annie Rose Gassman, age 33, was indicted on June 14, 2017. She appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on July 28, 2017, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 20 years in custody and/or a $1,000,000 fine, a lifetime of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The Indictment alleges that between Aug. 1, 2015, and June 14, 2017, Gasman knowingly and intentionally conspired with others to distribute methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled Substance, within South Dakota.
The charge is merely an accusation and Gassman is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
This case is being investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney SaraBeth Donovan is prosecuting the case.
Gassman was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
