Mankato Man's Bail Set At $1 Million For Synthetic Drug Deaths
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Mankato man accused of providing synthetic drugs that killed two people is being held on a $1 million bail.
Tyler Caputo, 21, was arrested in suburban Chicago last week after leaving Minnesota without the court's permission.
Caputo faces third-degree murder charges in the deaths of 17-year-old Chloe Moses and 22-year-old Louis Folson.

His attorney says the case does not amount to the level of murder.
