He has pleaded innocent to the charges.<\/p>\n<p>Bates is accused of killing Victor Collins, 47, of Centerton on Nov. 22, 2015. He is also accused of tampering with evidence by using a garden hose to wash away blood from his hot tub and patio area, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<p>Collins was found dead in the hot tub.
