A 33-year-old man accused of stabbing a Minnesota man to death has been charged with second-degree murder.

A judge on Thursday set Robert Russell's bail at $1 million after prosecutors said the Duluth man was a flight risk.

Defense attorney Bruce Williams had asked that bail be set at $250,000. He didn't immediately return a message Thursday afternoon seeking comment.

The Mesabi Daily News of Virginia says Russell is accused in the stabbing of 33-year-old Jamie John Drumm of Virginia on Saturday.

Police say Drumm and another man were walking down a street when a vehicle with two men and a woman drove by. Words were exchanged and a fight ensued.

Russell's next court appearance is Jan. 4.
