SPOKANE, Wash. - A former Clallam County lawyer who is now a Democratic congressional candidate in Spokane has told police he was assaulted near downtown Spokane after making sexual advances to another man.
Fox has come to the attention of law enforcement several times in the past year in Clallam County and Spokane.
He's been accused of sexually harassing a former client and driving under the influence, but it appears the harsh allegations have not sapped David Fox's political ambitions.
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.
