What I've been dealing with the past week

Just wanted to drop in a little note regarding the going's on in the little town of Bozeman. I was at the crime scene for about six hours the day the body was found. While I wasn't able to apply my few CSI skills, I was a runner for the event and was able to stay in the know about what was going on and it was interesting to be involved. Hopefully this kind of thing doesn't happen again for a long time.

BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Two former Montana State University athletes were arrested and charged with murder Thursday in the shooting death of a suspected cocaine dealer whose body was found last week at the school's agronomy farm.
Former basketball player Branden Miller and former football player John LeBrum, both 22, were arrested and charged in the death of Jason Cody Wright. Both men also are accused of kidnapping Wright and destroying evidence in his murder.
Miller was held on $1 million bail after appearing in court on a murder charge. LeBrum is expected to appear in court Friday, also on a murder charge.
Attempts to reach Miller's lawyer, deputy public defender Eric Brewer, for comment Thursday night were unsuccessful. Brewer does not have a listed home phone number.
Miller withdrew from Montana State in April, while LeBrum is currently not a student at the university, according to a statement released Thursday from the school.
Prosecutors, in court documents, said that Miller told detectives that he gave LeBrum a ride to a restaurant where Wright was dining early on June 23. The two waited for Wright to come outside, then attacked him. Wright fell down, and Lebrum threw him into the back of Wright's sport utility vehicle and drove away.
Miller told authorities he drove off in a different direction in his own car.
Wright's body was found in a field on the university's Arthur Post Agronomy Farm last Friday. The 26-year-old man died of gunshot wounds, the Gallatin County coroner said. Investigators found several .40-caliber shell casings near his body.
Investigators searched Wright's apartment Sunday and found "pays and owes" sheets related to drug dealing, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported. Police said they believe Wright had been dealing cocaine.
A prosecutor's affidavit said investigators found Wright's identification and several personal items in a garbage container outside Miller's residence.
The Belgrade News reported that Miller told detectives Monday that he helped LeBrum wipe down Wright's vehicle with bleach and that they left it in Belgrade, where sheriff's deputies found it Tuesday.
The affidavit says James Clark, a former assistant basketball coach at the school, alerted detectives about a locker at the school's arena containing a bag with handguns. Clark told detectives the bag had been in Miller's possession.
One of the handguns found in the locker was the same caliber as the shell casings found near Wright's body, Gallatin County Sheriff James Cashell said Thursday during a news conference.
Gallatin County Attorney Marty Lambert said the investigation is ongoing, and additional people might be charged.
Montana State president Geoffrey Gamble said the university "will do everything we can" to help with the investigation.
"My thoughts continue to be with the victim's family," Gamble said in a statement. "Today, I'm even more distressed to learn that a former student has been arrested in connection with the crime."
Miller, from Milwaukee, started 27 of 28 games for the basketball team in 2004-05, his first year at the school. He was the team's third-leading scorer at 10.8 points a game when he became academically ineligible and was dismissed Dec. 6.
LeBrum, from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was a freshman football player in the fall of 2003. He redshirted during that season and was dismissed from the team on Aug. 30, 2004, for disciplinary reasons, school sports information director Bill Lamberty said.
In October 2005, LeBrum broke a man's jaw in a fight during a pickup basketball game on campus, and eventually was convicted of felony criminal endangerment.
