United States Attorney Brendan V.
Johnson announced that Jody Jeremy Dupris, age 32, of Eagle Butte, South
Dakota, appeared before United States District Judge Roberto A. Lange on June
20, 2012 and pled guilty to two indictments that charged him with assault with
a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury. The penalty

The convictions arose from two assaults

assaulted a man near Cherry Creek. The second assault occurred in May 2011 in
Cherry Creek when Dupris used a vehicle he was driving as a dangerous weapon
and rammed his vehicle into a van in which the victim was riding.
The investigation was conducted by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant
United States Attorney Mikal Hanson.
A presentence investigation was ordered,
and a sentencing date was set for September 13, 2012. The defendant was
remanded to the custody of the United States Marshals Service pending
sentencing.
