Welcome to beautiful UAS. Where everything is beautiful, and nothing is to question. (One would hope.) However, there is plenty to question.
Notice that– there’s no explanation of what they claim that I had done wrong at all.
Why did I receive a “criminal trespass” notice, when I’ve broken no laws nor caused an immediate threat to anyone? I’ll have you know that this notice was stacked on top of a completely different unrelated case. (Remember when I said that I did nothing wrong?)
A little over an hour ago you could hear a siren going off in the Valley of Auke Bay. “What kind of siren was this,” I was thinking, “That doesn’t sound like a police siren,” I told myself. I took just a moment to ponder & listen for which type of siren that was, “That’s a fire truck siren,” I said to myself, and what’ll you know– my instincts served me correctly. But, that’s not even the story here.
You’re interested in this story because the title tells you that there was a structure fire in Alaska’s Capital and dispatch said it wasn’t newsworthy in their opinion. If you ask me, (which you didn’t) any type of incident where Fire & Rescue has to be dispatched is not only newsworthy, but some kind of emergency. Otherwise, why are they blaring their siren and responding to a call? There’s no reason to keep you waiting any longer for the deets, so let’s just jump right into the call that was placed.

A stranger knocks on your door on a Saturday at 7AM sharp after you just got out of a wrongful incarceration (the charges were dropped by the state, and you haven’t even committed any crimes whatsoever). It’s cold out, you’re not expecting anyone– and you’re definitely not in the mood for company. What do you do? Do you answer the door? The guy that’s legally changing his name to Sheriff in Juneau Alaska sure didn’t.
What was this unofficial Sheriff of Las Vegas to do? Answer the door to some seemingly creeping stranger that he’s never even met before who’s wearing a strange highlighter yellow shirt or vest– or ignore the rude awakening and go on about his business since he’s now up for the day anyways due to this unwanted wake–up calling? Checking the surveillance cams sounded like a great idea as the thought crossed his mind, so he did– and saw what seems to be a UAS employee standing on the other side of his front door.
Loud sounds pop off after 10PM near Auke Bay, and people with PTSD report to Alaskan Capital dispatch. Police investigate the sounds, and find out that it’s just some dumbass with fireworks.
Dispatch also reports back to ACAP that other gunshot like sounds went off elsewhere in town, but these were not inquired about as intensely just yet.
