Anchorage Man Charged with Felony DUI in Trapper Creek Stop

An early morning traffic stop by troopers patrolling Trapper Creek landed an Anchorage man in jail on several charges that included a Felony DUI on Friday morning.

Troopers pulled over a 2004 Chevy van near milepost 112 of the Parks Highway in Trapper Creek at five minutes after midnight on Friday morning for a moving violation.

Troopers found that 49-year-old Anthony Hoover was operating the van while under the influence of alcohol. Troopers also discovered that Hoover was driving with a revoked licence as well as under conditions of release that stipulated no alcohol consumption.

As troopers investigated Hoover’s criminal past further, they would find that Hover had been convicted of a Felony DUI within the past 10 years and so was subsequently charged with Felony DUI in this current case.

Hoover was transported to the Mat-Su Pretriall Facility in Palmer where he was remanded on charges of Felony DUI, DWLR, and Violating Conditions of Release. His bail was set at $5,000 and a Court Approved Third Party Custodian.

At arraignment, bail was set at $10,000 corporate/cash and a Court Approved Third Party Custodian.
