Ronald Fox, who pleaded guilty on Sept. 11 to second-degree assault with a deadly weapon enhancement for his role in a Redmond stabbing on June 13, was sentenced to two years in prison on Oct. 3, according to a press secretary for the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office.

Edwin Foster, also involved in the incident along the Sammamish River Trail during which a 28-year-old man was stabbed and assaulted, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault on Monday at the King County Courthouse. His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 7 and he could spend six months to a year in prison.

Trevor Utley was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Aug. 22 for second-degree assault in the incident.

On June 13, the victim was stabbed and/or slashed in the neck, face and torso four to six times and had walked to an office building adjacent to the trail, located in the 8400 block of 154th Avenue Northeast.

The victim arrived at the office building at 3:07 p.m. Several employees found him, administered first aid and called 911. The victim was then treated by Redmond Fire Department (RFD) personnel and immediately transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was released from the hospital on June 14.

According to King County charging documents, “Foster lured (the victim) to an outside location where the other two defendants were lying in wait, ready to attack (the victim). After first tasing (the victim) with a stun gun, all three men attacked him.” Documents state that one stab “barely missed his spinal cord.”

The report states that the three men targeted the victim because they believed he had destroyed a tent that belonged to Utley’s girlfriend, who is also Fox’s sister.
