RAPID CITY, S.D. — A man accused of subjecting American Indian children to racial slurs and spraying them with beer during a late-January minor league hockey game in Rapid City is now being represented by a new attorney.
Mike Butler of Sioux Falls takes over as defense attorney for Trace O'Connell, who had been represented by Patrick Duffy. Duffy died unexpectedly earlier this month.
The 41-year-old O'Connell has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. A status hearing for the case is scheduled for Thursday in Rapid City.
