Fort Thompson男子袭击联邦执法人员被定罪：监狱内脚踢头撞印第安事务局警员，最高可判8年监禁
美国南达科他州联邦检察官 Ron Parsons 宣布，陪审团在 Pierre 的联邦地区法院经过两天审理后，于10月29日裁定 Fort Thompson 居民 Patrick Wind（又名 Patrick Azure，34岁）「袭击、抗拒及妨碍联邦执法人员」罪名成立。
案件源于2025年5月14日发生在南达科他州 Lower Brule 苏族印第安保留地的一起袭击。庭审证据显示，一名印第安事务局（BIA）执法人员接报前往 Fort Thompson 一处住所处理警情，要求 Wind 离开住所，随后将其送往 Lower Brule 的监狱。在监狱内，Wind 变得好斗，对该警员拳脚相加，以脚踢和头撞方式袭击对方。
Wind 于2025年8月被联邦大陪审团起诉。该罪名最高可判处8年监禁及或25万美元罚款，另加3年监督释放，并须缴纳100美元特别评估费，用于联邦犯罪受害者基金。
联邦检察官 Ron Parsons 表示：「任何在本办公室辖区内袭击执法人员的人，都可以指望在联邦监狱服刑。」
此案由印第安事务局 Lower Brule 机构调查，助理联邦检察官 Meghan Dilges 负责起诉。法院已下令进行量刑前调查，宣判日期尚未确定；被告已被还押美国法警局看管。
Fort Thompson Man Convicted of Assaulting a Federal Officer: Kicked and Headbutted BIA Officer at Jail, Faces Up to 8 Years
United States Attorney Ron Parsons for the District of South Dakota announced that a jury convicted Patrick Wind, also known as Patrick Azure, 34, of Fort Thompson, South Dakota, of assaulting, resisting and impeding a federal officer following a two-day jury trial in federal district court in Pierre. The verdict was returned on October 29, 2026.
The conviction stems from an assault on May 14, 2025, in Lower Brule, South Dakota, on the Lower Brule Sioux Indian Reservation. Evidence at trial showed that a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) law enforcement officer responded to a call for service in Fort Thompson to remove Wind from a residence, found him inside and transported him to the jail in Lower Brule. At the jail, Wind became combative and physically assaulted the officer by kicking and headbutting him.
Wind was indicted by a federal grand jury in August 2025. The charge carries a maximum penalty of eight years in custody and/or a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
"Anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer within the jurisdiction of this office can count on spending time in federal prison," U.S. Attorney Parsons said.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Lower Brule Agency, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan Dilges. A presentence investigation was ordered, no sentencing date has been set, and Wind was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
