Montana homicide suspect waives extradition hearing

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A suspect in a Montana negligent homicide case has waived his right to challenge extradition from North Dakota to face charges.

Forty-six-year-old Charles Bowen of Tavares, Fla. is being held in Williston, N.D. after his arrest last month in the killing of a man who had been working in the region's booming oil patch.

Authorities say 49-year-old Brian Doyle, also of Florida, was killed when he was run over by a motor vehicle along U.S. Highway 2. Doyle's body was found outside of Bainville, a small community in Roosevelt County near the North Dakota border.

Further details have not been released.

Roosevelt County Sheriff Freedom Crawford says his office has not yet made plans to bring Bowen back to Montana.
