The Bennett County sheriff says 21-year-old Brad Young was beaten and dragged early Saturday morning after a night of drinking on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Young remains in critical condition at a Rapid City hospital. His mother says he's having kidney trouble and lost both ears in the attack. The F-B-I is investigating. Two 18-year-old men and a juvenile male have been arrested in connection with the assault.
