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 Johnson became another wild roadside attraction in Cooper Landing.
