PIERRE, (KCCR) — A Lower Brule man has been sentenced to seven years in federal prison for assaulting a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer. U-S Attorney Ron Parsons says 35 year-old Cody Crazy Bull was sentenced by U-S District Judge Eric Schulte to at total of 87 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release. Crazy Bull was indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of Assaulting, Resisting and Impeding a Federal Officer in July of 2025. He pleaded guilty in early April. Parsons says Bureau of Indian Affairs officers noticed Crazy Bull in the driver’s seat of a car in a parking lot. The officers knew Crazy Bull had an active warrant and approved his location. As an officer stood in the car’s open door, Crazy Bull backed up, striking the officer. That officer then got inside the vehicle and commanded Crazy Bull to stop. Once Crazy Bull stopped he attempted to flee on foot until he was apprehended a short time late after being found in a nearby building’s mechanical closet. Crazy Bull was taken following sentencing by the U-S Marshal’s Service to begin his sentence.
