Bradley Allen Weyaus (Mille Lacs County Sheriff’s Office).

A man has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for killing another who he believed was dealing fatal drugs.

Bradley Allen Weyaus has confessed to the murder of Rodney Pendegayosh Jr., 25, as revealed in a press statement from prosecutors in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota. His sentencing is set for July 24, with the terms of his plea agreement playing a significant role in determining his sentence.

Per the agreement, Weyaus will serve a prison term ranging from 25 years and six months to 30 years and seven months. His co-defendant, girlfriend Alexis Marion Elling, admitted guilt in February 2024 to aiding an offender, with her sentencing delayed until Weyaus’ case concluded. She consented to testify against Weyaus in return for a suspended sentence of five years in prison and up to five years of supervised probation.

Authorities have said that the defendants, a couple, believed that Pendegayosh dealt Elling’s brother a fatal mixture of fentanyl and meth.

Their crime was anything but typical.

“This entire scenario is exceedingly strange,” remarked Mille Lacs County Sheriff Kyle Burton during a news conference when charges were filed. “This body was relocated to various locations over what might have been a week before it was finally discovered.”
