While most were dipnetting, one Anchorage man went off the deep end on the Sterling Highway

While crowds from Anchorage flocked to the Kenai Peninsula for a weekend of salmon dipnetting, one Anchorage man made a different kind of splash along the Sterling Highway.

Alaska State Troopers reported a chaotic scene Friday evening near Mile 46 when multiple 911 calls came in about an adult male running into traffic, striking vehicles, and undressing himself in a roadside pullout. Responding troopers from Seward and Soldotna eventually located the individual in a nearby vehicle.

The man, identified as 29-year-old Aucha Johnson of Anchorage, was arrested on three counts of first-degree indecent exposure, as well as charges of fourth-degree assault and disorderly conduct. He was transported to Wildwood Pretrial Facility in Kenai, where he was held without bail pending arraignment.

Unlike the thousands peacefully casting nets for wild salmon, Johnson’s became another wild roadside attraction in Cooper Landing.

  1. We’ve had similar incidents here in Juneau this last week. One man decided to disrobe in a downtown bar in front of tourists. Another went on a screaming rant and rolled his wheelchair onto the highway. We’re becoming just like the coastal states to the south of us.

  2. Yep, Anchorage has run out of room for crazies and is now exporting them to Kenai. Hold onto your wallets Kenai a liberal Democrat will come in to save the day for you.

  3. The Alaska Democratic Party is on line 1, they are asking if he is available to serve as their new executive director.

    • If he’s on major drugs, at API, or severely afflicted with TDS, he might qualify. These are all Democrat Party recruiting credentials.

  4. Sounds like a perfect candidate for a cabinet position in the Trump administration. He could be the second DUI hire after Hegseth.
