Kyle Man Sentenced to Six Years in Federal Prison for Conspiring to Distribute Methamphetamine in the Pine Ridge Reservation and in Rapid City

RAPID CITY - United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced today that U.S.  District Judge Karen E. Schreier has sentenced a Kyle, South Dakota, man convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance.

Milo Shot With Arrow, age 51, was sentenced on March 7, 2025, to six years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Shot With Arrow was indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2024, and pleaded guilty on November 13, 2024.

Shot With Arrow’s conviction stemmed from the large-scale distribution of methamphetamine in the Pine Ridge Reservation and in Rapid City, South Dakota. Misty Hornbeck and Nathan Tobacco-Clifford were the source of supply for Shot With Arrow and codefendants Malcom Shot With Arrow, Ruben Clifford, and Tasha Rooks. During the course of the conspiracy, Shot With Arrow and several of his codefendants made trips to Colorado to pick up substantial amounts of methamphetamine from Misty Hornbeck and others. Other times Hornbeck would deliver the drugs to Tobacco-Clifford and others in South Dakota. Once the methamphetamine was in South Dakota, it would be further distributed by multiple individuals, including Shot With Arrow. Between 500 grams and 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine was distributed during the course of this criminal enterprise.

The codefendants’ cases are pending.

This case was investigated by the FBI and the Badlands Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, which is comprised of agents from the FBI, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, Bureau of Indian Affairs Division of Drug Enforcement, Martin Police Department, and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Knox prosecuted the case.

Shot With Arrow was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service following sentencing.
