United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Fort
Thompson, South Dakota, man convicted of Assault by Striking, Beating, and
Wounding, was sentenced on September 9, 2019, by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A.
Moreno.
Jacey Estes, age 25, was sentenced to time served, equal to
approximately 3 months, in custody, 1 year of supervised release, and a special
assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $25.
Estes was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 12,
2019. He pled guilty on July 22, 2019.
The conviction stemmed from an incident on November 3, 2018,
when Estes was drinking and socializing at a residence with a group of
individuals, including the victim. The
group then later went for a drive and at one point, Estes and the victim got
into an argument. They stopped the
vehicle, Estes and the victim got out of the vehicle, and Estes struck and beat
the victim’s head and face causing facial fractures.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Crow Creek Agency. Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley
prosecuted the case.
Estes was released following the sentencing hearing.
