Holy Cross man arrested after escaping custody

Aan arrest was made late last week after a man escaped custody in the community of Holy Cross.

George Darren Peters Sr., 41, of Holy Cross had two warrants out for his arrest for third-degree assault.

A Holy Cross Tribal Police officer made an initial arrest at about 11 p.m. Oct. 20, but Peters fled custody before Alaska State Troopers out of Aniak were able to acquire him Oct. 21.

After searching, Peters was located at about 4:15 p.m. Oct. 22, by the TPO and community members.

He was arrested on one count of second-degree escape, and has since been transferred to the Aniak jail.
