St. George man pleads not guilty in murder of LA County deputy

A Utah man accused of going on a crime spree last month is pleading not guilty to murder and other charges. 

Yesterday in Los Angeles, a judge ordered that Rhett Nelson of St. George be kept behind bars without bail until a September hearing. 

The 30-year-old is accused of murdering an off-duty Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy at a fast food restaurant. 

He's also charged with shooting and killing a second man and robbing several stores. 

So far, investigators said they believe the crimes were random.
