Former South Dakota state employee charged with forging own medical marijuana card
A former state employee was charged with forging her own medical marijuana card, according to a press release from the South Dakota Attorney General.
Alexandra Feiner, a 24-year-old former employee of the South Dakota Department of Health, faces three felony counts and one misdemeanor count in connection with the allegations. Specifically, that includes:
- one felony count of forgery, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison;
- one felony count of offering a false or forged Instrument for filing, registering or recording, which carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison;
- one felony count of possession of a forged instrument, which carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison;
- and one misdemeanor count of falsification of public records by a public officer or employee, which carries a maximum sentence of one year in the county jail.
“The defendant is charged with using her position of trust as a Department of Health employee for her own personal benefit,” stated South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley in the release. “This type of conduct reflects poorly on those state government employees who work hard for South Dakotans.”
The incident allegedly happened between March 2024 and March 2025. No court date has been set yet for Feiner as of June 2.
Families in South Dakota work hard. We sacrifice a lot and ask very little from the people who govern us. We expect honesty, careful budgeting, and leadership that puts our interests above politics.
In his recent budget address, our governor painted an incomplete picture. He celebrated good results but did not explain what and who made those results possible. South Dakotans deserve more than selective storytelling. We deserve the truth.
