RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Antonio High Hawk is charged with 1 count of kidnapping, 2 counts of aggravated sexual assault, and 2 counts of aggravated assault.

High Hawk pleads not guilty to all 5 of his charges. Evidence was submitted to a grand jury before Wednesday hearing, and probable cause was found for the case to go to trial.

His next court appearance is April 14.
