Troubled deputies at center of $1.5M settlement in Maltby man's death

MALTBY — Snohomish County will pay $1.5 million to the family of a man killed by sheriff’s deputies in early 2017.

In late April, the County Council approved the settlement for the sister and mother of Alex Dold, a 29-year-old man who deputies tased and beat to death six years ago in a home he shared with his mother near Maltby. Because of this, a judge dismissed the family’s federal lawsuit last week.

This is the fourth settlement of $1 million or more paid to families of men killed by Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies in the last three years.

In January, the county paid $1.9 million to the family of Ryan Hemmingson, who a deputy shot and killed during a welfare check south of Everett.
