Fort Yukon woman faces assault, weapons charges after June disturbance in Circle

For about two hours after midnight on June 24, someone was causing trouble around Circle — a small village on the Yukon River in the eastern Interior. Alaska State Troopers say the calls started just after midnight and ran until about 2 a.m., with problems at several locations and several people involved.

Two weeks later, on July 8, troopers arrested a Fort Yukon woman, Brittany Carroll, 30, in connection with that night.

She faces two counts of third-degree assault. Troopers also forwarded a longer list of charges to the District Attorney: fourth-degree assault, second-degree harassment, two counts of fourth-degree weapons misconduct, and cruelty to animals.

The charges are accusations. Carroll is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
