Acting United States Attorney Dennis Holmes announced that a Milbank, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance.

Delvin Eagle Chasing, a/k/a Delvin Baumgarten, age 35, was indicted on May 11, 2021.  He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on June 25, 2021, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to life in prison and/or a $1,000,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund for each Count.  Restitution may also be ordered.

The charge is merely an accusation and Eagle Chasing is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Eagle Chasing was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial.  A trial date has not been set.
