Mission Woman Sentenced for Assault

 United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Mission, South Dakota, woman convicted of Assault by Striking, Beating, or Wounding was sentenced on January 4, 2021, by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno.

Thomasine Noela Charging Bear, age 35, was sentenced to time served through July 21, 2021, equal to approximately 12 months in custody, one year of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Charging Bear was indicted by a federal grand jury on August 11, 2020.  She pled guilty on October 15, 2020.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on June 19, 2020, in Mission.  On that date, Charging Bear stabbed her domestic partner in the neck with a razor blade.

This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Elmore prosecuted the case.

Charging Bear was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
