Former Candidate Faces Murder Charge | Colorado Springs News

A former Colorado state Senate candidate is locked up after a judge rejected his self-defense claim in the fatal shooting of Robert Dougher. The court, reviewing body cam footage and evidence, found Arvidson was the aggressor who approached Dougher, accused him of drug dealing, then returned home to grab a gun — the only firearm at the scene. His story about who had the weapon and when shifted multiple times, and the judge noted Dougher wasn’t directly confronting him. With no bond option and a plea date set for October 8th, this case stems from a long-standing neighborhood feud that turned deadly.
