United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man convicted of Criminal Contempt was sentenced on Aug. 16, 2019, by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno.
Frank Iron Heart, age 39, was sentenced to time served and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $10.
Iron Heart was indicted by a federal grand jury on Feb. 13, 2019. He pled guilty on Aug. 16, 2019.
The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on Dec. 18, 2018, when Iron Heart willfully and unlawfully disobeyed and resisted a subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court requiring him to appear at a federal hearing in Pierre, South Dakota.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Elmore prosecuted the case.
