Nikiski Man Held without Bail after Threatening to ‘Blow Away’ Two Men on Sunday


Alaska State Troopers report that a Nikiski man was jailed and held without bail after threatening two men he was in an altercation with on Sunday afternoon.

According to the report and investigation, 40-year-old David Thomas O’Brien of Nikiski had begun yelling at the two men that “he was going to blow them away and burn their house down.” As a result of that outburst, O’Brien was taken into custody on charges of Assault III, Terroristic Threatening II, and Violating Conditions of Release.
