Bail has been set at $1 million for a 51-year-old man arrested in connection with the slaying of a man at a Seattle assisted-living facility last year.
KIRO-TV reported that Charles Jungbluth was arrested by Snohomish County Sheriff’s deputies Thursday at the request of Seattle police. He appeared in court Friday and is being held in King County Jail in lieu of bond.
Francis Patrick Fleming, 70, was found dead in his apartment in December following a robbery. Investigators said DNA evidence found inside Fleming’s ransacked apartment led police to Jungbluth.
Prosecutors have until Tuesday to file charges.
