In the category of "what was he thinking", Clallam County prosecutor wanna-be David Russell Fox was arrested today at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) after brandishing a knife at a ticket agent. Fox was booked into King County Jail. Bail was set at $3,000.
Fox is an attorney and recently admitted to engaging in sexual activity with a client, claiming that it was consensual. Ethics rules for lawyers prohibit them from starting sexual relationships with their clients, and the sheriff's office said it would file a complaint with the bar association. To date, the attorney general's office declined to file charges. Fox claims to be the victim of a "gay witch hunt" and that his clients often fall in love with him.
Fox returned to his vehicle which he had parked on Airport Way and was approached by Port of Seattle officers who had been called by the ticket agent. The agent described Fox as wearing a floppy hat, khaki shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. According to the agent, Fox repeatedly pulled out a knife and asked "weird questions."
According to the police report: "[Fox] was unsteady on his feet and kept repeating the same questions, telling [the officer] over and over that [the officer] need[ed] to call the Clallam County Sheriff's Office so they could tell [the officer] who [Fox] was and that he was running for office. [Fox] told [the officer] over and over that he is an attorney, and that I have no right to stop him."
The report further notes that another officer spotted a marijuana pipe on the passenger's seat, and a search turned up a bag of marijuana and prescription pills for which Fox had no prescription.
