Gainesville man arrested in mother's murder

A Gainesville man is facing charges in the murder of his mother.

Robert Timothy Stargel, 54, is accused of shooting his mother, Linda Arrington, 69, of Gainesville, in the head, according to Hall County Sheriff's Office Lt. Scott Ware.

"He's charged with felony murder," said Ware. "No bond has been set at this time."

Arrington's husband arrived at the home on Skyview Drive Monday morning to find his wife deceased. Ware said he called 911 and responding paramedics suspected foul play in the dead.

Ware said a motive was unclear. "As I understand it, there was possibly an argument over him picking up personal items from the home."

Stargel was arrested without incident in the 1600 block of Oak Brook Drive.
