  Press Releases:
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced additional case developments in federal drug prosecutions occurring in approximately the past six weeks.  During any lapse in Congressional appropriations, the U.S. Department of Justice has contingency procedures to ensure that the Department’s essential public safety and national security missions continue unabated.  As a result, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and federal investigative agencies continued to work full-time alongside their state, local, and tribal partners on all criminal cases and prosecutions throughout the partial federal government shutdown, which now has ended.

“The men and women at every level of law enforcement working here in South Dakota should be commended for their exceptional efforts in helping to bring drug trafficking offenders to justice and take these deadly poisons off the streets,” said U.S. Attorney Parsons.  “The high quality of investigative police work done by these professionals continues to produce outstanding results.”

In approximately the past six weeks, the following investigations, involving 42 criminal defendants, have resulted in previously unannounced indictments, arraignments, guilty pleas, or prison sentences in drug-related prosecutions by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Dakota.  In the cases listed below, 33 defendants were involved in trafficking methamphetamine, and at least 11 defendants were involved in trafficking opioids such as heroin and fentanyl.

Drug trafficking is an inherently violent activity.  Firearms are tools of the trade for drug dealers.  It is common to find drug traffickers armed with guns in order to protect their illegal drug product and cash, and enforce their illegal operations.

Many of these cases are part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.  The Department of Justice reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of its renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and local communities to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.

The cases listed above are being investigated by the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force, Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force based in both Rapid City and Pierre, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Unified Narcotics Enforcement Team (UNET), U.S. Postal Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services OIG/OI, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), South Dakota Highway Patrol, Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office, Sioux Falls Police Department, Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, Rapid City Police Department, Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety, Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, Yankton Police Department, Pierre Police Department, Mobridge Police Department, and the South Dakota National Guard.
