RAPID CITY, S.D. – A Rapid City man has been sentenced to a year in federal prison after walking away from a court-approved drug treatment program and later attempting to flee from law enforcement.
Federal prosecutors say 33-year-old Miles Michael Goings received a four-month prison sentence for escape. That sentence will be served consecutively to an eight-month sentence for violating the terms of his supervised release, bringing his total prison term to 12 months.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Goings was in federal custody while facing sanctions for methamphetamine use when he was granted permission to attend an inpatient treatment program. Prosecutors say he left the facility shortly after arriving and failed to return.
Authorities later located Goings in Box Elder after receiving a report that he had threatened to assault someone. Investigators say he attempted to run from officers before being arrested.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Box Elder Police Department. Goings was taken into custody following his sentencing.
