The driver of a van that crashed on Interstate 94 in Bismarck Friday has been charged with the murder and kidnapping of a man found dead inside the van.
John Clark Bridges, 42, of Missoula was the driver.
The body of Lee Edward Clay, 40, was found inside, and North Dakota Highway Patrol Capt. Kyle Kirchmeier said the injuries Clay had didnt match the crash severity.
Bridges was charged Monday with Class AA felony murder and Class A felony kidnapping. South Central District Judge Sonna Anderson ordered Bridges held without bond on the request of Burleigh County Assistant States Attorney Lloyd Suhr.
Suhr said Bridges only has been in North Dakota since July 2, has an extremely violent criminal history out of Illinois, and prosecutors have overwhelming evidence of premeditation in Clays death.
During discussions with defendant on that date, defendant told the officers that he wanted to kill someone just to see how it felt, the opinion said. It also said the only people Bridges had any feelings for were his father, whom he loves, and his mother, whom he hates.
