STURGIS, S.D. – A man accused of speeding at the Buffalo Chip during the 2024 rally and striking a woman with his motorcycle was back in court Friday.
Robert Shipp is charged with DUI and vehicular battery in connection with the incident that seriously injured Aaften Wesbrock of Colorado.
Wesbrock remains unresponsive with a major brain injury in a Colorado hospital. Friends and family of the woman say they just want justice.
Shipp was arrested and was later released on bond after the incident and that frustrates those close to Wesbrock.
At a status hearing Friday for Shipp in Meade County Court, prosecutors and the defense agreed to set a trial date of October 1st. Three days have been aside for trial.
