45-year-old Marcus Whybark sues Snohomish County deputies for shooting him and killing his dog during a mental health episode.

45-year-old Marcus Whybark, a Sultan man, has filed a lawsuit against two Snohomish County deputies who shot him multiple times and killed his dog last July. The incident began when the deputies received a call about a man with a knife near the intersection of Second Street and Cedar Avenue in Sultan. Whybark had a mental health episode and was unarmed when the officers opened fire. The lawsuit alleges that the officers were not justified in their actions and violated Whybark's civil rights.
