STOCKHOLM — A Hogansburg man was charged for his role in a robbery that led to the shooting death of Daniel P. Simonds.

Kaientanoron L. "Nolo" Swamp, 27, of 1422 Route 37, was charged late Monday with felony first-degree robbery, St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin M. Wells said. He was arraigned in Stockholm Town Court and sent to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, without bail.

"It stems from the Daniel Simonds homicide investigation and more arrests are expected," Mr. Wells said.

A preliminary hearing for Mr. Swamp is tentatively scheduled for noon Thursday in the same court, prosecutors said.

Last month, Brian J. Latulipe, 27, of 73 Reardon Road, Bombay, was charged with conspiring to engage in a Hobbs Act robbery, according to the U.S. attorney's office.

The act prohibits robbery or extortion that affects interstate and foreign commerce. He was arraigned in federal court and remains jailed.

The federal indictment accuses Latulipe and other unknown assailants of robbing Mr. Simonds of marijuana and money at his home in the town of Stockholm last month and beating and shooting him before fleeing.

Mr. Simonds, 31, of 649 Porter Lynch Road, died May 13 at Fletcher Allen Health Care, Burlington, Vt., after suffering a gunshot wound to the lower back.

The shooting took place in the early morning during a struggle with at least three unidentified suspects, according to investigators at the time. The suspects are said to have fled the scene in two dark sport utility vehicles.

In the aftermath of the killing, investigators found 140 pounds of high-grade marijuana, $50,000 to $60,000 in cash and a Russian-made hunting rifle at the Simonds home.

Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies have assisted in the investigation, including the state police major crimes unit from Troop B headquarters in Ray Brook. Anyone with information should call the sheriff's department at 379-2096 or 379-2222 or e-mail investigation@stlawco.org.
