South Dakota Gun Heist Trio Sentenced to Federal Prison for Stealing 105 Firearms

Three individuals from South Dakota, Jaylen Bleu Ducheneaux, Weston Reid Clausen, and Whitley Traversie, have been sentenced to federal prison for their involvement in a gun heist at Reloaders Corner in Isabel, South Dakota last year.

They pleaded guilty to stealing 105 firearms from the licensed federal firearm retailer, with Ducheneaux receiving a 12-year sentence, Clausen sentenced to 10 years, and Traversie serving three years and four months.

The stolen firearms were illegally trafficked, and some have been recovered in various communities in South Dakota and the Midwest, as reported by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Ducheneaux and Clausen planned the burglary, while Traversie served as a lookout during the criminal activity.
