The Arctic Sounder reports on a 23-year-old Nuiqsut woman accused of smuggling a few bottles of R&R and 3.87 ounces of pot this month.
(Troopers made a much bigger pot seizure on a man headed for Bethel on Wednesday. See the bottom of this post.)
Here's the Associated Press account of the Nuiqsut arrest:
BARROW North Slope Borough authorities say officers caught a 23-year-old woman trying to import alcohol and marijuana into the village of Nuiqsut.
According to a borough press release, officers in Prudhoe Bay received a report of a vehicle trying to enter the village with suspicious package under the spare tire. The borough says Laura Skin consented to a search of the vehicle and an officer found alcohol with an estimated street value of $1,100 and marijuana with a street value of $5,480.
Nuiqsut voters banned the importation and sale of alcohol more than 25 years ago.
Charges of importation of alcoholic beverages into a local option area and misconduct involving a controlled substance have been forwarded to the district attorney's office.
And a report from troopers on seizure of 4.4 pounds of marijuana found on a man trying to fly from Anchorage to Bethel on Wednesday:
On (Wednesday) WAANT Investigators were at the Anchorage
International Airport and observed a 26-year-old male check a single bag at the ERA counter. Investigation determined the bag and the male were destined for Bethel.
Further investigation resulted in the seizure of the bag and the acquisition of a search warrant directing a search of the bag. The bag was found to contain approximately 4.4 pounds of packaged marijuana with a street value of over $100,000 in the Bethel area. Investigation into this incident is continuing.
Note that no one was arrested in this case, as of Wednesday
