Virginia, MN (AP) _ A 33–year–old man accused of stabbing a Minnesota man to death has been charged with second–degree murder.
A judge on Thursday set Robert Russell’s bail at $1 million after prosecutors said the Duluth man was a flight risk.
Defense attorney Bruce Williams had asked that bail be set at $250,000.
He didn't immediately return a message Thursday afternoon seeking comment.
The Mesabi Daily News of Virginia says Russell is accused in the stabbing of 33–year–old Jamie John Drumm of Virginia on Saturday.
Police say Drumm and another man were walking down a street when a vehicle with two men and a woman drove by.
Words were exchanged and a fight ensued.
Russell's next court appearance is January 4.
