Troopers arrest Deering man after reports he assaulted multiple people in the village

Alaska State Troopers arrested a 22-year-old Deering man Tuesday after receiving reports that he had assaulted multiple people and damaged property in the Northwest Arctic village.

The Deering school issued a shelter-in-place order because of the incident. Troopers said the school took the step out of caution.

Troopers from Nome responded and arrested the man, according to the troopers' dispatch. The dispatch does not say how many people were assaulted, whether anyone was hurt or what property was damaged, and it lists no charges.

Troopers said the investigation is ongoing.
