Man accused of stabbing 2 men in Spirit Lake must stay in jail until trial

Despite a request to be released, a man accused of stabbing two men — killing one and critically injuring the other — in April on Spirit Lake Reservation must stay in jail until his trial, a judge decided Thursday.

Dallas Wayne Thundershield, 36, faces four charges in federal court, including murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in substantial bodily injury.

Thundershield was arrested and charged after police say he killed 52-year-old Richard Dean DeMarce Sr. by hitting him with a truck April 9 and stabbing him in the heart, and also injured 43-year-old Elvis DeMarce by stabbing him six times, causing him to be airlifted from the scene to Altru Hospital.
