Acting United States Attorney Dennis R. Holmes announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Larceny and Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer.
Derrick One Star, a/k/a Derek One Star, age 34, was indicted on Aug. 10, 2021. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on Aug. 20, 2021, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
