SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — The South Dakota Department of Corrections is alerting the public about a high-risk offender set to be released from prison next week.
62-year-old Michael Pigney will be released from the penitentiary on Tuesday after serving sentences for possession of a controlled substance and failure to update his address as a sex offender from Minnehaha County.
Secretary of Corrections Kellie Wasko says Pigney has a criminal history involving sex offenses and that institutional assessments indicate he has a high risk to re-offend.
Pigney will not be under parole supervision since he’s completed his entire sentence.
