United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced that U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier had sentenced a Fort Welton, Florida, man convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter.
Giles Frederick Hulsmann, 38, was sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Hulsmann was indicted for involuntary manslaughter by a federal grand jury in June of 2023. He pleaded guilty on May 3, 2024.
On November 24, 2022, Hulsmann found himself lost and near Pine Ridge, South Dakota, significantly off route from his destination. Rather than pulling over and orienting himself with the area, Hulsmann flew into a rage and drove approximately 80 MPH in a 45 MPH zone when he struck a motorcyclist.
An accident reconstructionist determined that Hulsmann did not utilise his brakes or swerve before hitting the motorcyclist head-on.     Â
