MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) – A former Skagit County sheriff’s deputy charged with domestic violence won’t see his bail reduced.
The Skagit Valley Herald reports Russell Whitmore’s lawyer requested bail be lowered from $250,000 so Whitmore could possibly make bail and receive medical services.
Whitmore faces sever charges in connection with a January incident involving his wife.
Whitmore recently completed 90 days at Western State Hospital after a jail suicide attempt left him with diminished mental capabilities.
