SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Police say a 54-year-old Sioux Falls man was severely beaten yesterday afternoon in what police say was a drug related incident.
Captain Greg Vandekamp says 39-year-old Buck Frankman is charged with aggravated assault.
Vandekamp says drug related crimes are becoming commonplace. Whether people are stealing to support that habit or people "ripping each other off," getting into fights over who has what products, the ripple effect of the drug community is quite great.
Vandekamp says the beating happened at the victim’s West Burnside apartment and drug charges are expected.
