United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rapid
City, South Dakota, man convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled
Substance was sentenced by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court.
Samuel Patrick O’Rourke, age 37, was sentenced on August 9,
2019, to 7 years in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release,
and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
O’Rourke was indicted by a federal grand jury in November
2018. The charge related to O’Rourke,
and at least one other person, distributing at least 50 grams, but less than
200 grams, of methamphetamine in the District of South Dakota, primarily out of
his home on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and elsewhere, between 2016 and
2018.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Task Force, and the Bureau
of Indian Affairs. Assistant U.S.
Attorney Gina Nelson prosecuted the case.
O’Rourke was immediately turned over to the custody of the
U.S. Marshals Service.
