Mobridge Man Sentenced for Police Chase with Child in Car

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A Mobridge man who led authorities on a chase reaching speeds of 100 mph with his 17-month-old daughter in the car has been sentenced on a child abuse charge.

U.S. Attorney Randolph Seiler says 27-year-old Gabe Dubois led officers on the chase on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation after stealing beer from a Mobridge store on June 8, 2015.

The chase ended when Dubois' vehicle went out of control and rolled in a ditch south of Kenel.

Dubois was sentenced this week to six months in custody to be followed by three years of supervised release.
