A Marine has pleaded not guilty to murder in the death of a Camp Pendleton comrade who prosecutors say was killed in a dispute over stolen drug money.
Pfc. Alvin Reed Lovely entered his plea during an arraignment Friday in Orange County Superior Court.
The body of Pfc. Stephen Serrano was found May 15 in a ditch in San Clemente.
Another Marine charged with murder in the case, Lance Cpl. Christian William Carney, is being held at Camp Pendleton where he faces unrelated drug dealing charges. Authorities say he will face the murder charge after disposition of his drug case.
