Assault – Officers responded to a report that a fight had just occurred in the parking lot of a hotel and spoke with several witnesses and participants. Two men had indeed been fighting in the parking lot over “fisherman stuff.” One man had minor injuries and neither wished to pursue charges.
Welfare Check – Caller asked officers to check on a man who might not be eating and might be shy. Officers found the man camped out in a parking lot; he assured them he was eating and was simply waiting for a job on a fishing boat.
Theft – Gas station employee reported a driver had left without paying his $83 fuel bill. Officers contacted the suspect driver, who readily agreed to pay his bill and expressed his frustration with the gas station’s inability to notify customers that the credit card machines at the pumps don’t work.
Suspicious Person/Activity – Caller reported a possibly intoxicated driver before recognizing the driver as someone who simply drives poorly. An officer contacted the suspect driver, confirmed that neither alcohol nor drugs were at issue and warned the driver to operate the vehicle more carefully in the future.
Drunk Disturbance – Officer responded to a residence wherein a drunken tenant was having problems with her drunken landlord. An officer advised the landlord, who wanted his obstreperous tenant removed, that he needed to follow approved eviction procedures for that to happen.
Assault – Officers responded to the residence of the drunken landlord and his tenant, wherein the landlord claimed to have been awakened by his tenant pounding on his testicles. Officers determined the incident had not happened as described, and again encouraged the landlord to follow eviction procedures if he found his tenant too unruly.
Domestic Disturbance – Officer returned to the household of the drunken landlord and tenant, where the tenant’s drunken guest was trying to leave but couldn’t find his jacket. The guest, who was rather upset about the officer’s use of a flashlight in the darkened residence, was later quite impressed when the officer was able to find the guest’s jacket and return it to him.
Taxi Violation – Taxi driver told police she had photographed another taxi driver parking in a handicapped parking space, and said the suspect driver had flipped her off and called her… names. An officer reviewed the picture and determined the suspect driver was not in fact in a handicapped parking space. The two drivers were admonished about operating their commercial enterprises in a mature fashion.
Assault – A woman reported she had gone outside to walk near the beach and smoke when she was approached by an unidentified man and his dog. The man asked her business and then punched her in the face before continuing on his perambulation along the bay. Officers contacted a possible suspect but were unable to identify the assailant.
Theft – A woman reported that her male friend had given her jewelry and perfume the previous night, and said items along with her iPhone had been stolen two mornings later. After reviewing video footage officers spoke with the male friend, who admitted to taking back the items he had given his gal, along with her phone. Both parties were satisfied with the return of their respective belongings.
Assistance Rendered – PCR staff requested assistance removing a man who keeps interfering with a volleyball game. An officer advised the man, who did not feel his behavior was problematic, that PCR staff and referees are responsible for determining whether his behavior is disruptive.
Suspicious Person/Activity – Local caller reported having paid kidnappers $1200 to release his daughter (currently in another state), who had allegedly been nabbed after she threatened to call police about a traffic accident. Only after paying the demanded amount did the caller phone his daughter, to find that she was safe and had never been in a traffic accident. An officer advised the caller he was the victim of fraud and suggested he contact Western Union to stop payment on the funds.
Noise Disturbance – Complaint about loud music. Responding officers heard no unreasonably loud noise in the area. The complainant opined that the person responsible for the loud music must also be using a scanner, so as to turn down his or her music before officers arrive.
Traffic Crime – Caller reported an erratic driver. Officers later determined the poor driving was due to yet another person attempting to learn to drive.
Animal – A small dog snuck away from its owner. Officers were able to help the woman retrieve her dog only a few minutes later.
Suspicious Person/Activity – An intoxicated landlord called to report that his tenant had come into his room uninvited and offered to have sex with him, but had left after he asked her to. An officer advised the drunk to call police when he had an actual crime to report.
Welfare Check – Drunken caller reported receiving a text message from a woman who said she needed help. The woman advised UDPS she was not in need of any assistance and wished the drunken fool who called police would quit calling her.
Weapons – A man who came to UDPS to report a crime entered the facility and failed to inform the officer to whom he was speaking that he was carrying a loaded handgun. Charges pending.
Suspicious Person/Activity – Drunken caller reported that his drunken brother was standing guard at the door to their residence, outside of which someone was allegedly standing. Officers responded and found no indication whatsoever that anyone had attempted to enter the home. The drunks were advised to go to bed.
Assault – Drunken caller reported his drunken brother just attacked him with a walker. Officers attempted to obtain more information from the two drunks but learned primarily that they no longer remembered how much they had had to drink. The drunks were advised, again, to just get along.
Welfare Check – Caller reported seeing a shoeless man with what appeared to be vomit dribbling down his chin wandering aimlessly along the roadway. Officers found an inebriated man matching this description. The man told officers he had arrived at his destination by osmosis, but refused to provide any other information except the name of the place he wished to go. A taxi was called for him.

Alcoholism has always been rampant in Alaska, but it seems nowadays that there's such a larger scope of access to information via online and whatnot that we (I) see it more than before. A huge percentage (can't quote it right offhand) of crimes committed involves the party(ies) drinking beforehand. This spiderwebs into domestic violence, abuse and fetal alcohol syndrome to name a few. Very unfortunate, but when I read the Unalaska Police Blotter, there are numerous calls that make me crack a smile. Like the brother attacking the other with a walker? OMG, just run that scenario in your head. It's hilarious.
Do bars STILL stay open for 21 or 22 hours (close between 2AM-4or 5 AM)......could be part of
the problem.....and then the L-O-N-G winters days/nites and the darkness that ensues....some
things never change, it was that way before Alaska was a state (50's) and it was that way when
I left in 2001......The Eskimoo Native population appears to get the worst end of the problem....
In Anchorage the bars are open till three, but the last hour is drink free where people are supposed to "sober up." Pretty laughable because there's so many inebriated people that leave by that time. Also agree with the rest of your post Homie. Whereas it's my personal opinion that the weird daylight hours aren't too much of an impact for people born and raised there, the flipside of my opinion is that people that move there are very much more susceptible. It will also be my solid opinion that the natives wouldn't have so much alcoholism if the white man hadn't introduced it into their culture in the first place. Hundreds of years of drinking has embedded the problem into their culture and they seem more prone to problems surrounding alcohol because of their isolated lives. There was just a vote this week in the village of Shishmaref to retain a thirty plus year old alcohol ban. Good for them. Although there's still an issue with bootleggers, Alaska State Troopers say one in every twenty calls has an alcohol relation, so the ban's not 100% perfect but it's better than nothing for these folks.

. Alcohol works for some, but rural Alaska villages are not like our way of life. They really don't need booze, at least that's my humble opinion.
ONE MASSIVE HISTORICAL FLAW....USED BY GUILT RIDDEN WEENIES RATHER OFTEN.....THE CAUCASION DID NOT INTRODUCE ALCOHOL AND DRUGS INTO INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS.....
ANYTHING WITH SUGAR CONTENT FERMITS READILY, EASILY.......libation was flooded in America 3000 years before we Westeners landed.....drugs (MJ, Coke) are native American poison......stop the lies and myths.
VD (syphilis) came fron American Indians.......none in Euroipe to any extent until the Spainards picked it up from indians.....get past that BS also.

While I understand your comments.....I would,however,think a SOURCE for the information you
posted would be appropriate.......there is a historical fact that 97.7 percent of the LAND THE
INDIANS CALLED HOME was seized by the incoming flux of "new" americans.....there is a HISTORICAL context and then there is a PRESENT day context...whereby, "rez" living is NOW
the norm and is sub-par living at best....(Gambling and Casinos,native owned and run, are changing that somewhat,but the VAST majority of the Indian populace are still on the "rez".)
There is also a genetic make-up to take into account.....see Wiki for MORE additional, pertinent
information......
As for drugs....are we speaking of HISTORICAL use or present day useage......there is a DIFFERENCE within the sub-set.
Dude, you're trying to argue with the chicken little that bought into the hyperbole during the flooding about the Evergreen Dam being structurally compromised. Said that people can't trust a certified document related to the annual inspection of that dam. This person isn't worth the smokers mucus out of the bottom of my left lung Homie, but thanks for watching my six anyways. Here's a link for you to quote Homie:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_culture
. Ohhh yeaaaa, Europeans didn't have anything to do with the de-evolution of the Natives. Oh noooo (sarcasm included if you didn't pick up on that). Yea, and little kids hate candy.
I'd say my above post is better than a lot of my posts given that I haven't completely lost all control of my temper, which happens quite often.
In case you're confused Homie, I was giving you that link to use for yourself in these types of situations. In the future as it were, when people question the history of the Northernmost American Natives. Talked to Pa the other day about it, his opinion on where booze came from for the Northern peoples and he seemed to think it was Russian whalers bringing casks of rum early on (at least for the western side of the northern parts of the continent). I asked him if he thought they (natives) brewed their own alcohol to begin with, and he seemed to think they fermented salmon roe, but it was more of a ritualistic thing, not something to make craploads of to get drunk on. Anyway, thought I'd add a bit to my above post.
I know right?
