Man Pleads Guilty to Murder in Fargo Drug Slaying

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A Minnesota man has been sentenced for his role in the stabbing death of a man in a Fargo parking lot last spring.

KFGO radio reports 47-year-old Arlen Clapper, of Dilworth, pleaded guilty to murder Tuesday in a deal with prosecutors and was sentenced to serve nine years in prison.

Clapper was one of five people charged in the March 14 death of 26-year-old Rolandas House, whose body was discovered near a grocery store on the city's south side.

Authorities say House was killed in a dispute over drug money. Wade Garrett, of Fargo, pleaded guilty earlier to stabbing House to death and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
