From Cliff Thies:

David R. Fox, an attorney who has repeatedly shown up on the police blotter during the past year - for sexual harrassment, duriving under the influence, and other such offenses - is now suing a man for assault to whom he made gay advances.

Concerning his DUI arrest, a Seattle newspaper reports:

In June, Fox was arrested by Port of Seattle police after a ticket agent called authorities to report that a man wearing a floppy hat, khaki shorts and a Hawaiian shirt repeatedly pulled out a knife and asked "weird questions."

The driver was unsteady on his feet and kept repeating the same questions, telling me over and over that I need to call the Clallam County Sheriff's Office so they could tell me who he was and that he was running for office," the Port of Seattle police report said. "He told me over and over that he is an attorney, and that I have no right to stop him."

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, the report said.

Concerning his gay advances, he claims he has "fallen victim to a 'gay witch hunt,' and that his clients often fall in love with him."

According to a county sheriff, the man demanded that a client expose himself in the police station during a consultation and admitted masturbating in the interview room.

In the end, he took a plea deal.

Other run-ins with the law including boucing checks and being a public neuisance.

With his backround, this guy is sure to fit right in with the House Democratic Leadership team!
