Bond Set at $250K for Mandan Murder Suspect

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A judge has set bond at $250,000 for a Mandan man accused of shooting another man to death early this year.

Twenty-five-year-old James McKinney appeared in court Tuesday on charges of murder and tampering with physical evidence. He will enter pleas to the charges later. He does not yet have a listed defense attorney.

McKinney is charged in the death of Alex Lansdon, who was found dead Jan. 27 at the mobile home he rented in southeast Mandan. Preliminary autopsy results indicate he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Another man faces terrorizing, weapons and tampering charges in the case. Bond for Warren Pfetzer was set at $100,000 on Friday.
