RAPID CITY, S.D. – The man arrested over the weekend in connection with the murder of 82-year-old Reta McGovern is now facing additional charges.
On Monday, 45-year-old James Jumping Eagle was charged in federal court with failing to register as a sex offender. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says he knowingly did not register this month, even though he was required to do so. Jumping Eagle pleaded not guilty. This is a separate charge and is unrelated to the murder case.
