On May 8, 2025, a Clark County Sheriff's deputy fatally stabbed a man during a DUI investigation at the Washington State Patrol Scale House in Ridgefield, Washington. The incident began around 11 p.m. when deputies responded to a crash near Northeast 14th Court and Minnehaha Street in Vancouver, where a vehicle had collided with two parked cars. Believing the driver to be impaired, deputies arrested him and transported him to the Ridgefield facility for a breath-alcohol test. While in the breath-testing room, the man allegedly attempted to seize the deputy's firearm, leading to a physical altercation. The deputy stabbed the suspect multiple times. Despite deputies' attempts to administer first aid, the man was pronounced dead at the breath-testing room at 12:39 a.m. The unnamed deputy was uninjured and has been placed on critical incident leave, per standard protocol. The Washington State Office of Independent Investigations is leading the investigation, and body-worn and in-car camera footage will be reviewed and released at a later time. Police have not explained how the officer arrived at killing someone with a knife which is not a standard police weapon. As of May 12, 2025, the identities of both the Clark County Sheriff's deputy and the deceased DUI suspect involved in the fatal stabbing incident in Ridgefield, Washington, have not been publicly released. This page will be updated when the information becomes available.

On the morning of May 8, 2025, Trooper Nolan J. Neal of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol initiated a traffic stop on Interstate 85 southbound near mile marker 185 for a pickup truck lacking a registration plate. The driver, later identified as 53-year-old Philip Aiken Brown of Creedmoor, provided false information during the stop. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Brown had multiple active warrants for his arrest. As Trooper Neal attempted to take Brown into custody, Brown fled the scene. The trooper escalated a chase reaching up to 85 mph. The chase concluded when Brown exited onto Red Mill Road, lost control of the vehicle, and crashed into an embankment. Following the crash, Trooper Neal commanded Brown to show his hands. Brown failed to comply and eventually displayed a dark object in his hand, prompting Trooper Neal to discharge his firearm, striking Brown. Emergency medical services were called, and life-saving measures were administered; however, Brown succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is also conducting an independent review of the incident.
