WASILLA — Alaska State Troopers say a girl jumped onto the hood of a man’s car Sunday as he tried to leave her home, drunk, with another child in the car.

According to a trooper press statement, officers were sent to a home on Tattler Street after someone called 911 and left the phone off the hook. Dispatchers could hear a domestic disturbance over the open line.

William R. Greenewald allegedly, “attempted to leave the residence with a small child in the car,” troopers report. “In an attempt to stop Greenewald, another female juvenile from the residence jumped onto the hood of the car as Greenewald drove out of the driveway and down the street.” Troopers say they found the car where Greenewald had left it — in the middle of the road.

Greenewald was arrested on counts of felony drunken driving, child endangerment, reckless endangerment and driving on a revoked license. He was jailed without bail at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility.

In Alaska, a person’s third drunken driving case is automatically a felony. Troopers report that this was Greenwald’s third felony DUI; which would make it his fifth DUI arrest overall. Jail records Monday afternoon showed he was still incarcerated.

Moose struck

twice on Parks

MEADOW LAKES — Two cars apparently hit a very unlucky moose crossing the Parks Highway Friday, Alaska State Troopers report.

According to a trooper press statement, the call to respond to Mile 48 Parks Highway came in at 10:22 p.m.

Troopers report that Tasha Bruesch, 29, of Wasilla, was southbound driving a Pontiac sedan when a moose stepped out in front of her. According to the report, Bruesch didn’t have time to stop.

She hit the moose. But she wasn’t the only one.

Shanda Graham, 50, of Willow, was in the other lane of the highway, headed north in her 2000 Volkswagen sedan when Bruesch hit the moose.

“The moose was thrown into her lane of travel. Graham did not have time to respond and the moose was struck a second time,” troopers report.

No humans were injured in the collision, but troopers estimate damage to both vehicles at around $6,000.

Obsessed woman jailed for harassment

TALKEETNA — A very long drive and more phone calls than one would think it possible to make in a day landed a woman in jail Sunday.

According to an Alaska State Troopers press statement, at 2:30 a.m. troopers were called to a home in East Talkeetna where Theresa Newman was pounding on the complainant’s doors and windows and trying to use a credit card to get inside.

Newman, troopers report, was also “making verbal threats to shoot and kill the male occupant of the residence.”

Not only that, troopers say, but over the course of the previous day she had called the man approximately 400 times and drove from Girdwood to Talkeetna to get to his house.

“Records indicate that troopers had advised Newman in December 2009 that she was trespassed from the residence until December 2010,” troopers report.

Newman was jailed without bail at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility, charged with trespassing and assault. Prison records Monday afternoon showed she had since bailed out.

Woman tries

to elude troopers

WASILLA — Troopers say a woman led them on a brief pursuit up the Palmer-Wasilla Highway Saturday and nearly hit a guardrail before she gave up and went to jail for drunken driving.

According to a trooper press statement, at 8:59 p.m. troopers tried to pull over a silver 2004 Saturn 4-door sedan on the highway near Begich Drive.

“The vehicle failed to yield for approximately two miles while speeding, driving into oncoming lanes of travel and nearly colliding with a guardrail,” troopers report.

The driver, Mollie A. Boyer, 56, Palmer, was arrested for drunken driving, eluding arrest and reckless driving. She was jailed at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility on $3,000 bail. Jail records Monday afternoon showed she had since bailed out.
