Four Anchorage men face charges of drug conspiracy, kidnapping, and using firearms during their crimes. A fifth person was also charged with a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 after she disclosed protected health information for malicious harm according to U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler.

It was alleged in the indictment that 38-year-old Stuart “Tone” Seugasala, 33-year-old Phosavan “PK” Khamnivong, Timothey “Lil’ Tone” Miller and Anaoi “A-loc” Sialofi conspired to sell more than five hundred grams of meth as well as heroin, cocaine and crack. The indictment also alleged that Seugasala conducted “home invasions” which he called “missions” on other drug dealers to steal drugs and money. He would later sell these drugs himself. According to the indictment, Miller and Sialofi went with Seugasala on some of these “missions.”

One particular “mission” alleged in the indictment occurred in March of 2013. At that time, according to the indictment, Seugasala directed Miller to prepare for a “mission” against a victim only identified as “Victim A.” “Victim A” was targetted by Seugasala because they had failed to pay a drug debt owed to Seugasala.

It was revealed in the documents how Victims A and B were escorted to Miller’s apartment where they were bound with duct tape at gunpoint and beaten. During the incident, Seugasala used a hot curling iron to sexually assault “Victim A.” The assault caused serious injuries, enough to require hospitalization. The attack on “Victim A” was recorded on Miller’s cell phone on orders from Seugasala. The video was to be used to intimidate others that owed drug money to Seugasala. After the attack on “Victim A” another similar sexual assault was carried out on “Victim B” with the curling iron.

In the days after the attack, Seugasala shot another person, identified only as “Victim C.” After which, Seugasala contacted Stacy Laulu, who was employed at an Anchorage Medical Center. Laulu provided Seugasala with confidential patient information regarding their injuries and treatments. This contact and transfer of information is the basis of the two counts of violations of the HIPAA against Ms. Laulu.

Seugasala and Miller are now in Federal custody pending other charges and their arraignments have yet to be set. Sialofi was arrested on Thursday and will be arraigned today.

Khamnivong has yet to be arrested and his whereabouts are unknown. The DEA and FBI are seeking information of his whereabouts and the public is urged to contact the DEA at (907) 271-5033 or the FBI at (907) 276-4441.

U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler stated, “Unfortunately, violence often goes hand-in- hand with drug trafficking. We are dedicated to working with our law enforcement partners to bring the most violent drug traffickers to justice, so they can neither harm the community nor potential victims of their brutal attacks.”

The maximum penalties for the drug conspiracy charge carry a minimum of 10 years in prison and maximum of life in prison, a $10 million fine, and at least five years of supervised release. The kidnapping charges carry potential life sentences, and the firearms charges carry mandatory minimum consecutive sentences of five and 25 years, respectively. The HIPAA violation carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.

The Valdez Police Department, Alaska State Troopers and the United States Postal Inspection Service assisted the DEA, FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Anchorage Police Department’s investigation that led to the indictments.
