PIERRE, (KCCR) — A Sioux Falls man has been sentenced to federal prison time after pleading guilty to assaulting a federal officer in central South Dakota. U-S Attorney Ron Parsons says U-S District Judge Eric Schulte sentenced 46 year-old James Holloway to two years and nine months in federal custody on a charge of Assaulting, Resisting or Impeding a Federal Officer last Tuesday. Holloway was indicted by a federal grand jury on the charge last August and entered a guilty plea last October. Parsons says Holloway was on the Lower Brule Indian Reservation on May 2nd when law enforcement responded to a call for service in Lower Brule. The caller stated to dispatchers Holloway entered their residence without permission. Holloway was discovered in the basement of the residence by a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer. As the officer attempted to remove Holloway a fight began. The officer was knocked down, injuring the officer’s arm. Holloway was ordered to serve three years of supervised release after his prison term. He was taken by the U-S Marshals Service to begin serving his sentence.
