United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rapid City, South Dakota, woman convicted of Theft of Government Property was sentenced by Daneta Wollmann, U.S. Magistrate Judge.
Monica Tyon, age 52, was sentenced on April 26, 2019, to pay a $25 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund and $4,755 in restitution.
The conviction stemmed from Tyon willfully and knowingly receiving approximately $4,755 in General Assistance funds, for which she was not eligible, between 2015 and 2018 while being employed with the Oglala Sioux Tribe Ambulance Services.
This case was investigated by the Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of the Interior. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Cassandra DeCoste and Eric Kelderman prosecuted the case.
