SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A man with two decades of experience as a federal prosecutor will serve as acting U.S. attorney in South Dakota starting in March.

First Assistant United States Attorney Randy Seiler (SY’-ler) will take over the leadership of the U.S. attorney’s office upon the departure of Brendan Johnson. Johnson on Wednesday announced he’ll leave his job as U.S. attorney March 11 to open an office in Sioux Falls for a large law firm.

Seiler has worked at the federal office since 1995. He was a violent crime prosecutor until 2009, when he was named first assistant U.S. attorney.

He is a member of the Fort Pierre city council.

Seiler worked in private practice in Mobridge before becoming a prosecutor. He graduated from the University of South Dakota School of Law.
