By The Associated Press wire report November 20, 2007 09:47 AM

AUBURN - A judge has set bail at $75,000 for a 23-year-old Auburn man arrested for allegedly providing alcohol to a recent Edward Little High School graduate who died after a weekend party.

Larando Sweetling made his initial court appearance on charges of furnishing alcohol to a minor, unsworn falsification and violation of conditions of release.

Eighteen-year-old Adam Beggs was pronounced dead Saturday at a Lewiston hospital after he was found unresponsive at a Granite Street apartment. Police say he apparently succumbed to alcohol poisoning.

An autopsy was performed at the state medical examiner's office. A spokeswoman said further tests were needed before the cause of death can be determined.
