19 Aug
Summary
- Two men pleaded not guilty to felony kidnapping charges.
- Victim allegedly forced from home at gunpoint.
- Jury trial for both defendants is scheduled for December.
Two Mitchell men pleaded not guilty on Tuesday, August 11, to felony charges including first-degree kidnapping. The charges relate to an incident on August 4, where a victim was allegedly taken from their residence at gunpoint. The victim reportedly recognized one of the defendants, David Bucholz, by his voice despite a ski mask.
Bucholz and Jameson Winckler also face charges of first-degree burglary and aggravated assault. During a court hearing, both defendants requested bond modifications, which were denied by the court. A jury trial for both Bucholz and Winckler is slated for December. Under South Dakota law, these felonies carry significant potential prison sentences.
