Charges against Dishon Ambrose still stand

Detroit resident Dishon Ambrose was denied the motion to quash in the Ingham County Circuit Court this afternoon, according to a representative from Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings’ office. Ambrose was attempting to quash the bind-over, which would have dismissed his charges.

Ambrose, then 19 years old, was arrested after MSU freshman Olivia Pryor was found dead in her South Hubbard Hall dorm room March 19, 2012. He currently faces felony charges for selling or furnishing to a minor causing death, as well as a felony charge of accessory after allegedly attempting to clean the crime scene.

Ambrose and then 17-year-old Marquez Cannon were with Olivia Pryor and her roommate on the night of her death. They reportedly consumed two bottles of tequila, ultimately leading to Pryor’s death. Cannon was charged with the rape of Pryor and her roommate and sentenced to six to 20 years in prison, according to a past State News story.
