From the Unalaska Police Blotter, courtesy of the Anchorage Daily News:
Harassment – Officers mediated a dispute, which had erupted after
one man blew cigarette smoke in the other’s face, between two men from
warring Somali tribes. Both men were barred from visiting any Unisea
liquor establishments.
Assault – Intoxicated caller
reported being slapped on the genitals and asked that officers issue a
trespass advisement to the woman who committed said act. An officer
advised the man, who repeatedly requests such trespass advisements only
to have them lifted days later, to call when he is sober.
Suspicious
Person/Activity – An amorous bloke who in a misguided attempt to
attract a mate placed his genitals on full, flapping display in the
roadway instead caught the attention of a passing police officer. The
luckless lad was allowed to leave without charges since the intended
victim couldn’t be offended by what she couldn’t see.
Disorderly
Conduct – Officers broke up a fight at the Harbor View Bar, and
ultimately arrested one drunken young man who couldn’t resist taking a
final swing at another participant even after the two had been
separated. Sami Morris Maafu, 20 yoa, of Washington, was arrested on
charges of
Domestic Disturbance – Intoxicated man
reported that his intoxicated brother was acting crazy. Officers
responded to the home and found both brothers behaving as they usually
do.
Assault – Derak A. Otton, 23 yoa, of Koyuk, was
arrested on one count of Assault IV-DV after he slapped his girlfriend,
knocked her to the ground and ripped her shirt off in front of neighbor.
Otton told police the argument with his girlfriend started when she
began beating him at cards. Alcohol was a factor.
DUI –
Mukiza Aaron Balinda, 29 yoa, of Unalaska, was arrested for Driving
under the Influence after an officer attempted to stop him for speeding
and instead followed him as he drove off the roadway, twice, and bounced
off a tractor tire that had been placed to protect other cars from
drivers such as him before finally coming to a stop.
Assault
– Officers received a second-hand report from a business manager that
one of his employees had been choked at the Harbor View Bar the night
before, by another employee, and had continued to receive threatening
text messages. The participants and a witness provided information
indicating that this event did occur, but the victim did not wish to
pursue charges and the suspect, who claimed he did not remember what
happened, wished only to apologize.
Domestic Disturbance –
Caller reported his wife was beating him and asked if he could hit her
back. Officers contacted the intoxicated caller and determined that he
had kicked his girlfriend in the head upon learning that she was trying
to make plans to leave the island. Byron E. Olander, 38 yoa, of
Unalaska, was arrested on one count of Assault IV-DV.

Every major metropolitan area has its disreputable cousin. For New York City, it's the entire state of New Jersey. Here in Charlotte, it's Gastonia, NC, and Rock Hill, SC.
The Sticks are always just a few miles away, and the dwellers therein endlessly fascinating and amusing.
Bob ... oh yes, indeed. Having grown up in the sticks, I do understand. The Unalaska police blotter is most famous, however, not for the shenanigans it reports, but the way in which the writer reports them (i.e., usually referring to intoxicated persons as "drunken louts" and "sots".
But yeah, I understand. Unalaska, the port of call for the crab fishing fleet, is much akin to the cattle towns in the Old West ... a cowboy Saturday night. :^)
Can't make that stuff up can you? lol
threecollie, it's an imaginative group out there, even if only in discovering new ways to misbehave.
It's like they all aim to misbehave...
Reminds me of games rednecks play.
Always good for a chuckle and a shake of the head! Love the writer of the report...writes it like it is!
A blessed Thanksgiving to you and your family, Rev. Paul
Matt, if they're typical drunks, they're repetitive ... and yeah, it's deliberate.
CottonLady, I'm glad you enjoyed it - and thank you. The same to you, ma'am.
