Fogle was in prison at the time of the film's release in 1989.[2] A career criminal with a sixth-grade education,[3] Fogle had been in trouble with the law many times starting in his teens and throughout the rest of his life. On May 27, 2010, Fogle was arrested with another man for robbing a drugstore in Redmond, Washington. He was held on $500,000 bail as he awaited trial.
Fogle was arrested again for robbing a Seattle pharmacy in 2011.
