Rapid City Man Sentenced to 12 Months in Total After Escaping from Drug Treatment Furlough
RAPID CITY — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of South Dakota announced that U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier has sentenced Miles Michael Goings, 33, of Rapid City, South Dakota, for escape. Goings received four months in federal prison and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. The sentence runs consecutive to a separate eight-month sentence for violating conditions of supervised release, for a total of twelve months in federal prison. The sentencing took place on October 29, 2026, and U.S. Attorney Ron Parsons announced the result.
Goings was indicted for escape by a federal grand jury in June 2026 and pleaded guilty on August 12, 2026.
In the spring of 2026, Goings was in federal custody pending resolution of a petition to revoke his supervised release, which had been issued after he used methamphetamine while on supervised release. He successfully petitioned the court for a furlough to attend an inpatient drug-treatment program.
After arriving at the drug-treatment facility, Goings absconded from the facility in the middle of the night and remained in escape status until law enforcement found him after he was reported to have threatened to assault a person in Box Elder. He attempted to flee from officers but was apprehended.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Box Elder Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Schroeder. Goings was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
