Assistance Rendered – Taxi driver asked for police assistance because a
passenger had fallen asleep in her cab and she did not know what she
should do. An officer responded and woke the passenger, who shouted
obscenities at the officer before getting out of the taxi.
Drunk Disturbance – Officers responded to a local dock and
contacted two extremely inebriated fishermen, one of whom had obviously
recent cuts and scrapes and neither of whom was particularly forthcoming
regarding how those scrapes came to be. After having been told numerous
stories about being blindfolded and/or having been attacked by a gang
of thugs of various ethnicities, officers determined the injured
inebriate had likely simply fallen down.
Assault – A woman upset about her vehicle having been
damaged by her neighbor's poor parking job expressed her displeasure by
accosting her neighbor and punching her in the face. The neighbor
returned the favor. Neither woman wished to press charges though both
complained to the responding officer about the other.
Assault – Officers
responded to a report of an alleged assault and found that one man had
displayed a vulgar hand gesture to another, and also left his razor
trimmings in the bathroom the two men shared. A witness did confirm that
the first man had tapped the second on the shoulder. Officers
determined that the shoulder tap, stray hairs and middle finger did not
rise to the level of a crime.
Harassment – Caller reported feeling
harassed because an Alaska State Trooper had given him a ticket at his
residence, and had then pulled him over and was standing next to the
caller’s car window. Caller then said he had other things to do and
didn’t have time to deal with this.
Environmental – Vehicle owner
reported his vehicle had been vandalized, but upon closer inspection he
and the responding officer determined that the damage to his truck was
caused by high winds whipping the bed liner from his pickup and slamming
numerous items against the windows and hood before depositing them in
the parking lot and the harbor.
MVA Damage – A woman backed into
her neighbor’s parked vehicle, sparking a violent confrontation between
the two furious femmes. Damage to the two vehicles was negligible and
the only injuries were those caused when the two irate women began
pummeling one another.
Liquor Law Violation – Officer advised a
man who had entered a bar with a case of beer under his arm that he
could not bring alcohol into the bar. The man secured his beer elsewhere
while waiting for his meal.

If I only had the money to open a liquor store in Alaska.
It does sound awfully lucrative, doesn't it?
Another set of real winners... Sigh...
NFO, the scariest part is how small that population is ... so many of these reports are about serial offenders. The rest are the seasonal commercial fishermen, but still. Wow.
Rev. Paul,
I would love to look at the stat's reported to the state on part one crimes vs. all the petty calls.
Sandy, I'm sure that the petty stuff outweighs the serious crime. It did in Missouri when I carried a badge, some 30 years ago. There's probably more "petty" now than there was before.
Since no one really was hurt (so to speak) in any of these, they are pretty funny. ;)
Teresa, I think that's why we like these reports so much. They're almost never about anything more violent than the one where a guy smacked a co-worker with a package of frozen fish. :)
