Mission Man Indicted on Carjacking, Robbery, and Assault Charges

 Acting United States Attorney Dennis Holmes announced that a Mission, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Carjacking, Robbery, Assault With a Dangerous Weapon, and Assaulting, Resisting and Impeding a Federal Officer.

Eurico Da Silva-Roubideaux, a/k/a Eurico Roubideaux, age 20, was indicted on March 9, 2021.  He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on April 23, 2021, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 20 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, 3 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.  Restitution may also be ordered.

The Indictment alleges that on February 7, 2021, in Todd County, South Dakota, Da Silva-Roubideaux assaulted an individual with a hammer with intent to do bodily harm and stole the individual’s vehicle.  The Indictment further alleges that on February 8, 2021, Da Silva-Roubideaux did forcibly assault, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with law enforcement officers who were employed by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, and that such conduct involved the use of a vehicle operated by Da Silva-Roubideaux.

The charges are merely accusations and Da Silva-Roubideaux is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. 

The investigation is being conducted by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson is prosecuting the case.   

Da Silva-Roubideaux was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial.  A trial date has not been set.
