Ridge, South Dakota, man convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter was sentenced by
Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court.
Brent Janis, age 22, was sentenced on May 8, 2018, to 37
months’ custody, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay

Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Kelderman prosecuted the case.
Janis was ordered to self-report to a Bureau of Prisons
facility upon designation of the facility where Janis will serve his sentence.
