BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A former business associate of a Spokane, Wash., man killed in an alleged murder-for-hire scheme has been arrested in North Dakota on weapons charges.
U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon says 34-year-old Terry Henrikson, of Watford City, is charged with being a felon in possession of several firearms. Henrikson was arrested Saturday in Mandan.
Court documents show that Henrikson had business dealings in the North Dakota oil patch with Doug Carlile, who was shot by an intruder Dec. 15 at his home in an upscale Spokane neighborhood.
Authorities say Henrikson was an investor in a company called Kingdom Dynamics that had mineral rights to 640 acres of land. Carlile owned 51 percent of Kingdom Dynamics.
Fifty-year-old Timothy Suckow, of Spokane, has been arrested for investigation of first-degree murder in Carlile’s death.
