Fritz Creek man charged again with DUI after meth-impaired rollover while on release conditions

A Fritz Creek man rolled his vehicle on East End Road on May 16 while impaired by methamphetamine, Alaska State Troopers say. At the time, he was already under court-ordered conditions from a prior DUI-drug case requiring him to obey all laws and not possess or consume controlled substances.

A Fritz Creek resident called troopers to report the single-vehicle rollover at mile 18 at approximately 1:32 p.m. Troopers responded, obtained a blood draw warrant, and transported the driver to Homer Hospital. The Alaska Department of Public Safety crime lab confirmed methamphetamine in his system.

Carl Usoltseff, 36, was originally charged with DUI-drug in case 3KN-25-00067CR and placed on conditions of release requiring him to obey all laws and not possess or consume controlled substances. Troopers said the May 16 crash violated both conditions. A summons for DUI and violation of conditions of release was issued July 1. Usoltseff is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
