ALASKA: An Anchorage woman was arrested for attempting to smuggling alcohol into a dry village in Western Alaska, Alaska State Troopers wrote in a dispatch Monday.
The Bethel Western Alaska Alcohol and Narcotics Team stopped 22-year-old Nicole Parduhn at an air carrier in Bethel while investigating a report that she was smuggling alcohol into Pilot Station, a dry village.
Investigating officials seized 35 bottles of 750 ml distilled spirits in Parduhn’s checked luggage.
Parduhn was arrested and is being held at Yukon-Kuskokwim Correctional Center on charges of alcohol importation and possession for sale of alcohol without a permit which are both class C felonies.
Pilot Station is an Alaska Peninsula community of 78 people, 368 air miles southwest of Anchorage, according to state estimates. Residents of the village voted in 2003 to ban the sale and importation of alcohol.
