Homer man, 85, summonsed for 2025 Anchor Point hit-and-run after trooper spots vehicle nine months later

An 85-year-old Homer man has been summonsed for a hit-and-run collision that happened nearly nine months ago in Anchor Point, after a trooper on routine patrol recognized the suspect vehicle on a Homer street.

The original collision occurred Sept. 1, 2025. A driver reported a damage-only crash and said the other vehicle had fled. Troopers searched the area that day and found nothing.

On June 10, 2026, a trooper spotted the vehicle in Homer, conducted a traffic stop, and interviewed the driver. The driver, Anthony L. Maurer, 85, of Homer, acknowledged leaving the scene without exchanging the required information, according to the Alaska State Troopers dispatch report. Troopers issued a summons to Maurer on July 6 for leaving the scene of an accident under Alaska Title 28. The case is filed as 3HO-26-00248CR in Homer District Court.
