An East Grand Forks man jailed for giving a friend a fatal dose of synthetic drugs was beaten up by another inmate for talking with federal authorities.    Brandon Turner, 22, faces a felony charge of retaliating against a witness in the beating.  He's pleaded not guilty.

 

Under a deal with prosecutors, Adam Budge, 19, admitted that he gave a drug-laced chocolate bar to Elijah Stai, 17, that led to Stai's death.

Nine others have been charged in the conspiracy that led to the death of Stai and 18-year old Christian Bjerk.
