Biography[]
Fogle is a pawn shop owner in Harlan, Kentucky. He runs a backroom side business as an oxycontin dealer. He has ties to the Dixie Mafia through Wynn Duffy, exchanging stolen goods for oxycontin supplied by Duffy. He employs oxycontin addicts Wade Messer and JT to steal on demand and deliver to Duffy in Frankfurt, Kentucky in return for Fogle supplying Wade and JT with oxycontin. Unbeknownst to Fogle, Wade is a federal fugitive wanted for assaulting Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens, and for several armed robberies. He also employs drug user Wally Becket to assist him in running the pawn shop.
On one of the deliveries, Wade is sighted, and the US Marshals set up a roadblock to capture him, resulting in JT being arrested, although Wade escapes and reports back to Fogle, who dispatches Becket to pay his bail. When Becket returns with JT, Fogle berates him for getting caught, and JT begs him for oxycontin. Fogle tells him he can have it, but only if he puts his gun up to his head and pulls the trigger. JT does so, with Fogle sadistically taunting him all the while, but Fogle tells him that he's playing "Harlan roulette" and has to go again if he wants oxy. JT complies, but wets himself out of pure fear. He then attempts to shoot Fogle, but once again gets an empty chamber. Fogle then snatches the gun and attempts to shoot JT, succeeding on the fourth attempt and killing him. He then orders Becket and a shocked Wade to dispose of the body.
Raylan searches Fogle's shop looking for JT, and informs him that Wade is a federal fugitive. Fogle refuses to let Raylan search the back room where he killed JT, and Raylan threatens to return with a warrant. Fogle calls Duffy, who tells him to kill Raylan, a task Fogle delegates to Wade when he returns, telling him to lure Raylan to his house and kill him or he will give him up. Wade later calls Fogle and says he killed Raylan but was wounded. Fogle realizes that Raylan is trying to trick him and he and Becket drive to Wade's house with the intention of killing Raylan.
When Fogle and Becket arrive, they find the house deserted. Raylan pulls up behind them and gets out of his car. He tells Fogle that he has Wade in custody and Fogle tells Raylan not to believe anything Wade says. Raylan warns Fogle that he has two choices; join Wade in handcuffs or leave in a coroner’s wagon. Raylan says that he knows Becket is round the back, and asks Fogle why he bothered bringing Becket. Fogle offers to give up Duffy in exchange for leniency, to which Raylan agrees. Becket is disbelieving and tells Raylan that Fogle killed JT. He aims at Fogle and says he will give himself up if Raylan kills Fogle. Fogle says that Raylan needs him and will not shoot him. Becket shoots Fogle in the chest and Fogle returns fire, killing Becket. Raylan instructs Wade to call 911 and goes to check on Fogle. Fogle complains that Raylan let Becket shoot him and says that he cannot die there before drifting into unconsciousness and dying.
