OLYMPIA (AP) — Washington state officials say a sexually violent predator being held at the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island has died after suffering a head injury during a fight with another resident.
63-year-old Jerry Spicer was injured during the fight on Thursday in the facility’s cafeteria.
He was taken to the Madigan Army Medical Center at JBLM and later died of his injuries.
Spicer had been sent to the facility in 2005 after a Grant County court determined he met the criteria of being a sexually violent predator. The other man involved in the fight, Gregory Coley Jr., was later arrested and taken to the Pierce County Jail.
