United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man convicted of Malicious Mischief was sentenced on Oct. 2, 2018, by U.S. District Court Judge Roberto A. Lange.
Lawrence Parker III, age 27, was sentenced to 3 years of probation, restitution in the amount of $2,536.24, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Lawrence Parker III, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Oct. 12, 2016. He pled guilty on July 23, 2018.
The conviction stemmed from an incident on June 4, 2016, when Parker used an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) belonging to the State Bank of Eagle Butte to attempt to withdraw money from his account. When he was unable to do so, due to reaching his daily withdrawal limit, Parker destroyed the screen on the ATM.
This case was investigated by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.
Parker was released following sentencing.
