EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A judge in East Lansing has 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 N. Pryor dead March 19.

On Tuesday, District Judge David Jordon ruled there's enough evidence to try 19-year-old Dishon Ambrose of Detroit and 18-year-old Marquez Cannon 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 says the students and their male visitors were engaged in a shot-drinking competition.
