Joseph Michael Weninger, 25, and Jason Lee Roerick, 21, are being held on charges of First Degree Aggravated Robbery, Kidnapping, False Imprisonment, and Fifth Degree Burglary. They are both from Harvey, ND.
Clay County authorities worked with the Wells County, ND Sheriff's Office and North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation on the case.
Sheriff Bill Bergquist said Thursday authorities didn't believe it was a random crime. Investigators think the victim apparently knew his attackers, who had been to the Sabin-area farm before.
