Man dragged to death near Kalispel Reservation

A 20-year-old man died after being dragged for 13 miles near the Kalispel Reservation in Washington.

Jerid S. Sturman-Camyn, his father and another father-son team were at a hunting camp when a disagreement broke out. The second father, Wendell C. Sinn Jr., allegedly tied a rope around Sturman-Camyn's truck and attached it to the Sinn's truck.

That's when 17-year-old Justin Daniel Sinn started to drive away. Sturman-Camyn was dragged for 13 miles before the Sinns stopped about a mile north of the reservation.

The elder Sinn has been arrested for investigation of second-degree murder or first-degree manslaughter. His son has not been charged.

None of the people involved appear to be Native American.
