The police found no evidence Cayler had connections to any extremist group or the argument between the men was politically.
Shannon Brandt, of Glenfield, ND, received five years in prison for running over and killing Cayler Ellingson, 18, last year.Brandt claimed he perceived the teenager as aBrandt, 42, ran over Ellingson with his 2003 Ford Explorer on Sept. 18, 2022, in McHenry, North Dakota after an argument, prosecutors said. An arrest affidavit filed by a North Dakota State Patrol officer states that Brandt told a 911 operator that Ellingson “wouldn’t let me leave.
“He got on my vehicle and I couldn’t get him away from me,” Brandt said of Ellingson. “He was threatening me. He was saying something about some Republican extremist group, saying, ‘I thought he was part of us.’” Ellingson was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries and later died. Brandt initially left the scene of the incident but returned and called 911.
However, no evidence showed connections between any extremist group and Ellingson. The police also didn’t think the “incident was politically driven.” I always wondered if Brandt made that claim because he thought it would help him avoid a hefty prison sentence.
