ROBERT DeBERRY/Frontiersman Mat-Su Central rescue personnel tend to a victim of a two-car collision along the Palmer-Wasilla Highway near Mayflower Court on Monday afternoon. Central Mat-Su Fire Chief James Steele said each car had one occupant and neither driver was seriously hurt. The driver of a minivan was trapped and had to be cut free. The driver of a sedan was out of his car and walking when medics arrived.

WASILLA — Alaska State Troopers arrested a man they say fired a round that hit a home off Schrock Road Saturday.

According to a trooper press statement, the incident was reported at 7:51 p.m. Dana Wilson, 47, of Wasilla, was allegedly the shooter.

He was charged with seven counts of assault, one of weapons misconduct and one of being a felon in possession of a weapon.

He was jailed at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility on $25,000 bail. Jail records late Monday afternoon showed he was still incarcerated.

Driver can’t elude troopers

MEADOW LAKES — It took a tire-deflation device to stop a Ford car troopers say ran from them on the outskirts of Wasilla Sunday.

According to a trooper press statement, troopers noticed a blue Ford car with a broken headlight and tried to stop Hila Barel, 24, of Israel, at the Parks Highway and Museum Street.

They say Barel didn’t pull over and continued on to Meadow Lakes Road where the Ford’s tires were deflated. Barel was handed a summons for second-degree eluding arrest and released at the scene.
