United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald today announced
the sentencing of DILLON GEORGE TAYLOR, 21, to 52 months in prison for
assaulting three individuals with a firearm and violating his supervised
release conditions. TAYLOR, who pleaded guilty on October 22, 2019, was
sentenced today before Chief Judge John R. Tunheim in U.S. District Court in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
According to the defendant’s guilty plea and documents filed
in court, on November 22, 2018, during a confrontation with two individuals,
TAYLOR pointed a firearm at one of the individuals and threatened his life.
When the two individuals left the scene in a vehicle driven by a third
individual, TAYLOR pursued them and shot at the vehicle multiple times. When
the vehicle pulled into the parking lot of a casino located on the Red Lake
Indian Reservation, TAYLOR continued his pursuit, firing a shot towards the
entrance of the casino where the three individuals and casino personnel were

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the
