United States Attorney Marty J. Jackley announced today that on December 5, 2006,
George Dreamer of Pine Ridge was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard H.
Battey thirty months’ imprisonment, three years' supervised release, and
ordered to pay $13,147.38 in restitution, and $100 to the Victim's Assistance
Fund. Dreamer was originally indicted by a federal grand jury in January 2006
for bank fraud following an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The charges stem from incidents from October 2005 through January
2006 wherein Dreamer opened a bank account with a small deposit. He then wrote
numerous checks on the account to a variety of local businesses for over $5,000.00.
Dreamer did this while knowing no bank funds were available in the account. On
September 7, 2006, Dreamer pleaded guilty to bank fraud. This case was prosecuted
by Assistant United States Attorney Gregg S. Peterman.
