Phillip Arnold Paul is a man released for the insanity of the 1987 murder of Ruth Motley, 78, who was found in a shallow grave near the Lower Yakima Valley, Washington's home. Paul, who lives nearby, claimed the voices told him to "kill a wizard on Emerald Road". To hide his scent from a wild beast, he had wet his body with gasoline and buried it in the flower garden.
In August 1990, Paul refused his treatment and then fled from Eastern State Hospital (ESH) but was arrested near Fishtrap, Washington. While being booked into the Spokane County Prison, he defeated a deputy, destroying officer's shoulders. The jury then ordered the state to pay a representative over $ 100,000.
Paul enrolled at Spokane Falls Community College in early 1992 and was allowed to leave ESH to attend classes. Over the next two years he also worked part-time at the Spokane Goodwill store and at an antique furniture store downtown, sometimes for thirty hours a week. A Yakima judge rejected Paul's request to be released from his court-ordered commitment at ESH in 1994. In 1998, he was allowed to leave the hospital to live with his parents in Yakima Valley, but had to return every two weeks to receive his medication.
In June, 2000, Paul was approved to return home to his family in the Yakima Valley. In October 2000, he was ordered back to ESH after counselors noticed threatening and delusional behavior, and Paul had referred to someone he thought was a "wizard."
After five more years at ESH, Paul was approved for a conditional release to The Carlyle, a life assisted facility in downtown Spokane, in 2005. He began dating a woman who became pregnant and had a baby boy in 2006. Paul was ordered to back to ESH because he refused to take the medicine.
In 2007, he was again freed to The Carlyle although counselors report that he is beginning to exhibit increasingly challenging behavior.
In January 2009, Paul was ordered back to ESH after refusing to take his medicines and to be seen at a pawnshop selling firearms and other weapons, whose ownership was banned under the terms of his release.
In 1991, Paul walked away during a day trip to a lake in Washington and was subsequently arrested. On September 17, 2009, he escaped from a field trip organized by his mental hospital to Spokane County Fair during a trip with 30 other Eastern State Hospital patients. Paul was then arrested without a fight, at Goldendale, Washington on September 20, 2009.
