domestic violenceOn Thursday night, Wasilla-based troopers responded to a disturbance call at a Pittman Road/Parks Highway gas station at 8:23 pm.

Upon arrival and investigation of the incident, troopers contacted 28-year-old John Nagel of Wasilla and placed him under arrest for Assault III-DV, DUI-Alcohol, and Violation of Conditions of Release. According to troopers, Nagel was on conditions of release in a previous DV-Criminal Mischief/DUI case.

But, Nagel followed the victim to the gas station on an ATV while under the influence.

A Petition for Protective Order was granted following last night’s incident.

Nagel was transported to Palmer and remanded to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility without bail.
