OLYMPIA — A Thurston County man and his girlfriend will likely face charges in connection to the killing of the man’s mother.

The Olympian reports that on Wednesday a judge found probable cause to charge 23-year-old Roam Littlemoon with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery and other charges. The judge found cause to charge 18-year-old Sabrina Young with robbery.

Littlemoon’s bail was set at $2 million and Young’s bail is $50,000.

According to court documents, police say Littlemoon strangled his 60-year-old mother, Robin Tingle, and then slit her throat on Monday. Littlemoon and Young were arrested Tuesday in Longview after reportedly fleeing from the Thurston County home where Tingle died.
