A federal judge in South Dakota has criminally charged three members of the U.S. Marshals Service with contempt of court and obstructing justice, after a dispute with a marshal who refused to disclose her COVID-19 vaccination status and removed prisoners from a courthouse.

U.S. District Judge Charles Kornmann charged three supervisory law enforcement officers, including the agency’s Chief of Staff John Kilgallon.

The officers allegedly allowed a deputy marshal to leave the courthouse in Aberdeen (SD) with prisoners in tow on May 10 after the marshal refused to tell the judge whether she had been vaccinated against COVID-19.
