Alaska Wildlife Officers issued citations to three crewmembers aboard the F/V Katie Ann, fishing in the in the Bering Sea. 20-year-old Tyler Wootan, 20-year-old Douglas Moimoi, and 18-year-old Sunia Moimoi were cited for assaulting and punching a fellow crewmember while out on the boat commercial fishing near the remote port island of St. Paul.
These citations followed a similar citation on 36-year-old Toumante Dia, that was issued for a Monday assault aboard the vessel. That citation was for also assaulting a fellow crewmember.
