Faith, South Dakota Man Sentenced to 18 Months in Federal Prison for First-Degree Burglary

PIERRE - United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced today that U.S. District Judge Eric C. Schulte has sentenced a Faith, South Dakota, man convicted of First-Degree Burglary. The sentencing took place on July 27, 2026. Dalton Hump, age 34, was sentenced to one year and six months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Hump was indicted by a federal grand jury in October 2025. He was found guilty following a two-day trial in April of 2026. The evidence presented at trial established that on the evening of July 10, 2024, Hump unlawfully entered a residence in Ziebach County within the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation. He assaulted two individuals inside the residence before being forced outside. This case was investigated by the FBI and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Wayne Venhuizen prosecuted the case. This matter was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office because the Major Crimes Act, a federal statute, mandates that certain violent crimes alleged to have occurred in Indian Country be prosecuted in federal court as opposed to State court. Hump was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
