The Western Alaska Alcohol and Narcotics Team contacted 37-year-old Luciann Tonuchuk at the Anchorage Airport while conducting interdictions on Thursday. The Anchorage woman was arrested on warrant charges at the location.
While contacting Tonuchuk, WAANT checked the Alaska Public Safety Information Network and found that Tonuchuk had an outstanding warrant for Failure to Satisfy judgement on an original charge of OUI/Child Neglect.
Tonuchuk was arrested on the warrant.
At the same time, Tonuchuk consented to a search of her luggage and WAANT investigators found 178 grams of marijuana in her bags. WAANT seized the marijuana, $645, and her cell phone.
Tonuchuk was remanded to the Anchorage Jail on the warrant and two counts of Misconduct Involving a Controlled Substance were forwarded to the District Attorney’s office.
Tonuchuk’s bail was set at $500.
