SIOUX FALLS – A Flandreau woman convicted of assaulting, resisting and impeding a federal officer was sentenced on Monday by U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier, U.S. Attorney Alison Ramsdell announced.
Caley Studsdahl, 24, was sentenced to three years of probation and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $25.
Studsdahl was indicted by a federal grand jury on Sept. 8, 2021. She pleaded guilty on April 4.
The conviction stemmed from an incident on or about April 21, 2020, when Studsdahl was approached by the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe acting chief of police because there was a tribal warrant for her arrest. The acting chief of police placed Studsdahl in handcuffs, conducted a search, and placed her in the rear cage of his patrol vehicle. Before he could close the door, Studsdahl voluntarily and intentionally assaulted the acting chief of police by spitting on his face and said an obscenity directed at him.
This case was investigated by the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Hoffman prosecuted the case.
