Carlson pleads not guilty to murder

A Havre man pleaded not guilty this morning to charges he strangled his girlfriend to death in Havre March 23.

Jordan Lee Carlson, born in 1988, was charged with deliberate homicide in Havre City Court March 26 and the same charge was filed in state District Court Tuesday.

In an arraignment hearing before state District Judge Dan Boucher this morning, Jordan pleaded not guilty to killing Dawn Beeman. Boucher set the next hearing, in which trial dates usually are set, for May 19.

Charges often are first filed in city or justice court, but felony charges must be transferred to district court.
