Ex-Pierce County Sheriff's sergeant is accused of felony assault. Now he wants $18M
May 23—More than three years after it began, the criminal case drags on against a former Pierce County sheriff's deputy accused of stabbing a man in the hands outside a marijuana dispensary in Tacoma.
With a trial coming no sooner than July, a review of federal and state court records dating back to last summer provides a deeper glimpse into the case that derailed the career of ex-Sgt. Robert Glen Carpenter.
Records show that Carpenter, 52, is seeking $18 million in damages from the county and city of Tacoma over "a skewed investigation," and he claims to have long struggled with alcohol dependency and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Carpenter's criminal defense obtained an evaluation that shows he had "diminished capacity" at the time of the alleged assault in October 2018, according to court records, and now Carpenter must be evaluated by a state-approved psychologist under a May 4 court order.
