A North Dakota man has been sentenced to five years in prison for mowing down a teenager whom he claimed was a “Republican extremist.”
Shannon Brandt, then 41-years-old, struck and ran over 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson with his SUV in the early morning hours of Sept. 18, 2022, in McHenry, North Dakota. The teenager was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries and was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
