PORT ANGELES — A man accused of killing his next-door neighbor in Port Angeles during a violent argument was charged Thursday with murder.
Bail for 58-year-old Bobby J. Smith was set at $1 million. He’s accused of shooting 63-year-old Robert Fowler in June at Smith’s home.
The Peninsula Daily News reported that Smith will be arraigned Oct. 21 in Clallam County Superior Court. Smith told police the shooting was self-defense.
He had moved to Texas during the investigation and was arrested last month in the Amarillo area.
