Eagle Butte Man Arrested on DUI with Kid in Car Gets 2 Years

EAGLE BUTTE, S.D. (AP) — An Eagle Butte man who has been arrested twice for driving under the influence with a young child in the car has been sentenced to two years in prison.

U.S. Attorney Randy Seiler says 42-year-old Eric Brown has been sentenced to 24 months in prison and two years of supervised release.

A federal grand jury indicted Brown for aggravated sexual abuse of a child and child abuse in July. He pleaded guilty to child abuse in November.

In January 2015, Brown was pulled over after police saw his car swerving. Seiler says Brown was with a 5-year-old child who was not wearing a seat belt. He was arrested for DUI.

Seiler says Brown was also arrested for DUI in July 2014. The same child was in the car with him.
