United States Attorney Marty J. Jackley announced today
that on November 20, 2006, Justin Hawk Wing (27), of Pine Ridge, was
sentenced by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier to 175 months imprisonment,
five years supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 Victim Assessment
fine. Hawk Wing was originally indicted by a federal grand jury in February
2006 for Conspiracy to Distribute Cocaine and Possession with Intent
to Distribute Cocaine following an investigation conducted by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms,
SD UNET, the Rapid City Police Department, and the Oglala Sioux Tribal
Police. The charges stem from an incident involving the illegal sale
of drugs on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. On July 20, 2006, Hawk
Wing pleaded guilty to Conspiracy to Distribute Cocaine. This case was
prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mara M. Kohn.
