MCPHERSON, Kan. (AP) A McPherson man has pleaded no contest to first-degree murder in the death of a man whose body was dumped at Marion Reservoir.
McPherson County Attorney David Page says 25-year-old Dustin Tyler Smith of McPherson entered the plea Monday in the May 2011 death of Justin Milne.
In exchange for the plea, four other charges were dropped.
KAKE-TV reports that Smith is scheduled to be sentenced May 7.
Prosecutors say Milne was shot to death in McPherson and his body was taken to Marion Reservoir.
The body was discovered in a campsite at the reservoir after Milne’s burning car was found nearby.
