FROM THE BLOTTER: Troopers say drunk kicked out window

WASILLA — An unruly drunk allegedly kicked a window out of an Alaska State Trooper’s patrol car Sunday morning.

According to a trooper press statement, at 5:11 a.m. on Sunday officers were called to the intersection of Knik-Goose Bay and Edlund roads.

There they met Olav G. Carlson, 32, of Wasilla. Troopers say he tried to punch the trooper who was attempting to talk to him. He was thus arrested for disorderly conduct. But he wasn’t done yet.

“During the transport, Carlson kicked out the back passenger window of the patrol car,” troopers report.

That act, they say, earned him a criminal mischief charge on top of the disorderly conduct charge. He was booked at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility on $5,000 bail. Jail records Monday afternoon showed he’d since bailed out.

Dirtbike stolen

from garage

PALMER —Troopers haven’t arrested anybody for stealing a dirtbike this week, but would really like to talk to the last person to use the garage it was stored in.

According to a trooper press statement, at 1 a.m. on Monday they received report from a 20-year-old Wasilla man who told them he’d let John Caverly Jr., 24, of Palmer, use the garage where he kept his $2,500 black and yellow 1999 Suzuki RN 125.

The man “left Caverly in the garage to work on a vehicle of his. When (the man) returned later in the night, both Caverly and the dirt bike were gone,” troopers report.
