Highmore Woman Indicted on Firearm Charges
United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Highmore, South Dakota, woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person, Sale or Transfer of Firearms to a Prohibited Person, and False Statements During Purchase of a Firearm.
Elissa May Schultz, age 40, was indicted on October 14, 2020. She appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on January 21, 2021, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The Edgewater Apartment Building that was destroyed had 38 units, 34 of which had renters at the time of the fire. The building is a total loss.
Information from the Pierre Police Department earlier this week (Jan. 19, 2021) said “preliminary findings do not lead investigators to believe the fire origin was criminal.”
The investigation was conducted by the Pierre Police and Fire Departments, with the assistance of the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation and the South Dakota Fire Marshal’s Office. The cause of the fire is not being released at this time because further investigation is on-going by the various insurance companies representing those who incurred loss due to the fire.
