Clark County has released the name of the man stabbed to death by a sheriff’s deputy in Ridgefield last week.
Marc Fogle, 54, of Clackamas, died from “multiple stab wounds of the torso” shortly after midnight on May 8, according to the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office. The death was ruled a homicide.
Fogle, who was suspected of driving under the influence and had been taken to a Washington State Patrol weigh station to have a breath-alcohol test administered, allegedly started a scuffle with a deputy at the facility and grabbed for the officer’s gun.
“While in the breath test room at the Scale House facility, at around 11:58 p.m. [on May 7], a [Clark County Sheriff’s Office] deputy reported over the radio that he was actively in a physical altercation with the subject,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement on May 8. “The deputy reported that the subject had attempted to take his firearm during the altercation, and the deputy stabbed the suspect several times.”
The deputy’s name hasn’t been released.
The homicide is being investigated by the Washington State Office of Independent Investigations.
