On Friday last, Isaac Roubideaux, 30 from Pine Ridge was convicted on all 8 counts against him, when he shot a man in the back, permanently paralyzing the victim.
According to records, Isaac shot a person back on November 18th, 2021, during an incident, causing the permanent paralysis below the waistline. Law enforcement arrested Roubideaux on December 3rd, and he was indicted shortly after. At the trial, jurors found the Pine Ridge man guilty of discharge and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault resulting in serious bodily injury, three charges of failure to register as a sex offender, and two charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Back in 2015, Roubideaux was charged with sexual abuse of a minor for having sex with a 13-year-old, when he was 21. Pleading guilty as part of a plea agreement, he was classified as a prohibited person who could not legally possess firearms, and was required to register as a sex offender.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of up to life in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine for each charge, up to a lifetime of supervised release and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund on each charge. Restitution may also be ordered. The court has not yet set a sentencing date for Roubideaux, while the court ordered a pre-sentencing report, according to the US Attorney’s office.
Investigating the case was the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division, the US Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant US Attorneys Megan Poppen and Heather Sazama prosecuted the case.
