A tribal police officer from Kongiginak was charged with two counts of assault after he allegedly had a party with confiscated alcohol from the police station.
Scott Hill, 25, a tribal police officer from Kongiginak, fought with Derek Black, 26, from Kongiginak while they were drinking alcohol that Hill took from the Tribal Police Station, according to a trooper dispatch.
Black had to be treated at the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation in Bethel for injuries sustained during the fight, troopers said.
The alcohol had been confiscated in a case being prosecuted at Kongiginak’s tribal court.
Hill was arrested and charged with assault in both the second- and fourth-degree.
