United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota, man convicted of Assaulting, Resisting, and Impeding a Federal Officer was sentenced on July 5, 2022, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.
Todd Kal Wilcox, age 42, was sentenced to 25 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Wilcox was indicted by a federal grand jury on October 13, 2021. He pled guilty on April 14, 2022.
The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on July 15, 2021, in Todd County, South Dakota. On that date, a Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services officer responded to a call for service to remove Wilcox from a residence for being under the influence and disorderly. The responding officer asked Wilcox to leave the residence, and the officer removed a vodka bottle from Wilcox’s person while escorting him outside. Wilcox thereafter became combative and threatened and assaulted the officer with a metal bar.
This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Abby Roesler prosecuted the case.
Wilcox was ordered to self-report to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service no later than Friday, July 8, 2022, by 2:00 p.m.
