PIERRE - A 23-year-old Wakpala man earlier sentenced in state court for beating up a person with a baseball bat has been sentenced in federal court for another assault, this time using a vehicle.
Tyrall Cadotte is serving an eight-year state term for a 2007 attack in Mobridge during which he assaulted another person with a bat.
A prosecutor said it was part of an ongoing family feud between his family and the victim's family.
In federal court in Pierre, Cadotte has now been sentenced to just over four years in prison for a separate charge of assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
According to the indictment, he injured Jayson Tiger of Wakpala with a vehicle in 2007 in Corson County on Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
