United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man convicted of Domestic Assault by an Habitual Offender was sentenced on Feb. 10, 2020, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.
Hunter Ritter, age 20, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Ritter was indicted by a federal grand jury on Oct. 16, 2019. He pled guilty on Nov. 19, 2019.
The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on August 9, 2019, wherein Ritter assaulted his domestic partner at their home in Mission, by striking her face with his hand and knocking her down. At the time of this incident, Ritter had two prior convictions in Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court for Domestic Abuse.
This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.
Ritter was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
