Eric James Jarvis, 47, was in St. Louis County Court in Hibbing on Thursday afternoon, more than a year after Petrich was found unresponsive and severely bruised in the living room of an apartment. Both had made calls to 911 from the apartment in the days leading up to her death, and officers had responded.
According to the criminal complaint, Petrich told officers at the scene "we probably fought, dude. Like, we honestly probably fought."
The proposal suggests removing the 20-year protection on the Superior National Forest that President Joe Biden’s administration had ordered in 2023.
