OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On May 8, 2025, Clark County Sheriff's Deputy Bryson Layton fatally stabbed Marc Fogle 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, Fogle allegedly attempted to seize the deputy's firearm, leading to a physical altercation. The deputy stabbed the suspect multiple times. Fogle was pronounced dead at the breath-testing room at 12:39 a.m. Deputy Layton 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. The case was ruled a homicide by the coroner but no charges have been filed as of 5/14/2025.
