Kadoka Man Goes To Prison For Wounding Brother

KADOKA, South Dakota (AP) - A Kadoka man who shot his brother in a squabble over money has been sent to prison for ten years.

Twenty-five-year-old Timothy Whidbe pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for wounding his 29-year-old brother -- Daniel on January tenth.

The wounded brother -- who was shot in the pelvis -- drove to a neighbor's place and called for help.

Timothy Whidbe was taken into custody without incident.

In addition to his prison sentence, he also was ordered to pay 24-thousand dollars in restitution.

Brad, I'm really disappointed you felt a need to post this story.

Isn't such an incident tragedy enough for a good ranch family without using it for such silliness?

Western SD is very sparsely populated, and "everyone knows everyone", and generally thinks they know everyones' business as well.

Legally, it had to be published, but what does it serve here, besides making a mockery of the tragedy and causing pain for the families involved?
