United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota, man convicted of Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer was sentenced on November 6, 2017, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.
Conroy Chasing In Timber, age 35, was sentenced to time served in custody until Dec. 1, 2017 (approximately 9 months), 2 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Chasing In Timber was indicted by a federal grand jury on Feb. 15, 2017. He pled guilty on Aug. 15, 2017.
The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on Dec. 24, 2016.

As he was completing the booking process, Chasing Timber struck a corrections officer in the face with a closed fist.
This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.
Chasing In Timber was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
