2 men charged in alcohol-poisoning death at MSU

East Lansing — A judge in East Lansing ordered two young men tried in the alcohol poisoning death of a freshman in her Michigan State University dorm room.

A roommate found 18-year-old Olivia Nicole Pryor dead March 19.

On Tuesday, District Judge David Jordon ruled there's enough evidence to try Dishon Ambrose, 19, of Detroit and Marquez Cannon, 18, of Eastpointe.

Ambrose is charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor causing death and being an accessory after the fact to first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving Pryor.

Cannon is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving Pryor, third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving Pryor's roommate, and supplying alcohol to a minor.

The roommate said the students and their male visitors were engaged in a shot-drinking competition.

Pryor was a journalism freshman from Roseville, according to her university listing, according to Detroit News reports.
