Acting United States Attorney Dennis Holmes announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance.
Allen Michael Garreau, age 37, was indicted on May 11, 2021. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on May 14, 2021, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is a mandatory minimum of five years up to life in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, up to life of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The Indictment alleges that on March 16, 2021, in Eagle Butte, Garreau did knowingly and intentionally possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine.
The charge is merely an accusation and Garreau is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges is prosecuting the case.
Garreau was released on bond pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
