Teen admits to Lakewalk beating role

Teen admits to Lakewalk beating role
Duluth News Tribune - July 02, 2010


A 16-year-old Duluth boy told a judge on Thursday that he took part in the May 20 beating that left a University of Minnesota Duluth student unconscious on the Lakewalk.

Markus Lee St. Clair admitted to a charge of first-degree assault that was brought against him in a juvenile delinquency petition. In exchange for that admission, a charge of first-degree aggravated robbery was dismissed by the St. Louis County Attorney’s Office.

St. Clair is one of four juveniles to be charged with beating Dash Johnson, and the first to admit to his role. The juveniles are accused of stealing Johnson’s wallet and cell phone. Johnson, an Arden Hills, Minn., native, had just finished his junior year at UMD, where he was majoring in communications. He had been working as a host at Little Angie’s in Canal Park and as a student intern with Visit Duluth.
