Fairbanks Woman Arrested After Tanana Lakes Incident, Altered Location Data

Alaska State Troopers arrested a Fairbanks woman on June 18 after she allegedly refused to leave a vehicle at Tanana Lakes, poured liquids inside it, and then tried to mislead investigators by sending altered location data.

Maya Johnson was charged with Criminal Trespass II and Criminal Mischief V. Troopers say Johnson denied being at the scene, but the case against her rested on witness statements and location data that contradicted that denial. "Witness statements and location data confirmed Johnson was at the scene, despite her denial and attempts to conceal her location by sending altered information to Troopers," Alaska State Troopers said in their dispatch. She was located at her residence and remanded to Fairbanks Correctional Center.

All charges are accusations. Johnson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
