A Washington sheriff is accused of falsely reporting that a Black newspaper carrier was making death threats toward him.
A long-time sheriff in Washington state has never had a racial bias complaint against him - until two misdemeanor charges were filed Tuesday because of a confrontation between him and a Black newspaper carrier.told
The carrier, Sedrick Altheimer, was driving on a regular delivery route Jan. 27 when Troyer began following him in an unmarked personal SUV believing that Altheimer might have been stealing packages off people's porches. In a statement to a responding officer, Troyer acknowledged that Altheimer, 24, did not threaten him, the Attorney General's Office wrote in a probable cause statement. Altheimer denied making any threats and said Troyer did not identify himself as a sheriff or law enforcement officer.
In his written court statement, Troyer stated he will fight the charges against him because he believed that Attorney General Bob Ferguson was targeting him.For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below.
