Alison J. Ramsdell U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the District of South Dakota
A Kyle, South Dakota man has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for his involvement in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. Milo Shot With Arrow, 51, received the sentence from U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier on March 7, 2025. Following his prison term, he will be subject to three years of supervised release and must pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Shot With Arrow was indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2024 and entered a guilty plea on November 13, 2024. His conviction is linked to the extensive distribution of methamphetamine within the Pine Ridge Reservation and Rapid City, South Dakota. Misty Hornbeck and Nathan Tobacco-Clifford were identified as his suppliers along with codefendants Malcom Shot With Arrow, Ruben Clifford, and Tasha Rooks.
The operation involved multiple trips to Colorado to obtain significant quantities of methamphetamine from Hornbeck and others. At times, Hornbeck would deliver drugs directly to Tobacco-Clifford and others in South Dakota for further distribution by individuals including Shot With Arrow. The criminal enterprise distributed between 500 grams and 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine.
The cases against Shot With Arrow's codefendants are still pending. The investigation was conducted by the FBI alongside the Badlands Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force. This task force includes agents from several agencies such as the FBI, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, Bureau of Indian Affairs Division of Drug Enforcement, Martin Police Department, and Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Knox prosecuted the case.
Following his sentencing, Shot With Arrow was placed into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service.
