SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A Sioux Falls man is facing a number of charges after a man’s body was found in a burning ditch east of Brandon during the weekend.
Authorities have identified the victim as 22-year-old Saivaughn Robert Carlstrom, who also lived in Sioux Falls. His body was found by a sheriff’s deputy on patrol Saturday.
The 48-year-old suspect was arrested in Sioux Falls Sunday afternoon, according to police, and could be charged with first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping and second-degree sexual assault.
The kidnapping and assault charges involve another victim who was rescued on Sunday, according to Minnehaha County Sheriff Michael Milstead, who did not elaborate.
Milstead said 20 to 25 investigators from Sioux Falls, Brandon and the sheriff’s office worked on the case.
