A man and woman were arrested on assault and other charges after a disturbance call at an address off of quiet circle in Wasilla early Thanksgiving morning, the trooper dispatch divulged today.

Alaska State troopers responded to the quiet circle address at 2:13 AM on November 23 in response to a disturbance call.

Troopers contacted a male identified as 27-year-old Wasilla resident Chris Elving, and 22-year-old Wasilla resident Bernadette Myers. As troopers attempted to detain Elving, he violently resisted them. As he was doing so, Myers grabbed a hold of one of the troopers, ripping his jacket, and injuring the officer.

And that escalation was unfolding, Elving “produced a folding knife and activated the blade while advancing towards the injured Trooper.” As a second trooper at the scene pulled his Taser and deployed it on Elving, taking him down long enough to place him in custody.[xyz-ihs snippet=”Adsense-responsive”]Both perpetrators were placed under arrest, and transported to Palmer, is where they were remanded to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility. Elving was charged with Assault on a Peace Officer III, Resisting Arrest, and Disorderly Conduct. His bail was set at $20,000 and a Court-Approved Third Party Custodian. Myers was charged with Assault on a Peace Office IV and Resisting Arrest.

The injured officer was treated for his injuries at a local hospital and released.
