Tasered, sprayed and arrested

WILLOW — Alaska State Troopers kicked in a door and tasered and pepper-sprayed a man during a domestic violence call Sunday.

When troopers arrived at the scene of the call at 4:36 a.m., they saw the victim come running out of the home. The man they eventually arrested grabbed her, took her back inside, and locked the door. Troopers say they kicked the door open, and, in order to subdue him, pepper sprayed and tasered Edward Kehl, 43, of Willow.

Kehl was jailed at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility charged with assault and resisting arrest. He was jailed without bail, pending arraignment. Jail records Thursday afternoon showed he was still there.

Teen found in the road faces charges

SUTTON — Troopers say a man they went to check on, who was reportedly unconscious and lying in the road, turned out to have drunkenly crashed his pickup into a power pole.

The call to respond to Wright Way came at 5:52 a.m.

On scene, troopers found the man in the road was Ryan W. Greiling, 19, of Wasilla. They also report that Greiling had been driving his 1976 Dodge pickup “too fast down Anderson Way,” lost control and hit the power pole.

Troopers say Greiling walked away from the wreck to where they later found him. He didn’t report any injuries. There was no damage to the power pole. They estimate damage to the pickup at $500.

Greiling was jailed at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility on charges of drunken driving, underage drinking and minor driving after drinking. Jail records Thursday afternoon showed he’d since bailed out.
