A 30-year-old King County man has been charged with second-degree murder for the stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend.

The Tacoma News Tribune reports that (http://bit.ly/YldyVT) that Scottye Miller had 15 previous domestic violence convictions dating back to 2002.

Prosecutors allege Miller killed 33-year-old Tricia Patricelli in her Auburn apartment Tuesday, two weeks after finishing a prison sentence for harassing and threatening her. She had a no-contact order against Miller, who harassed her for the last four years.

Miller remained jailed on Friday in lieu of $1 million. He is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 15.

Women other than Patricelli have filed for protection orders since 2002 to keep Miller away from them. Miller was arrested at a bus stop Tuesday.
