Wasilla man, 29, arrested on DUI charge; troopers also found suspected LSD

Alaska State Troopers arrested a Wasilla man, 29, on a charge of driving under the influence early Saturday, Oct. 3, near Knik-Goose Bay Road and the Parks Highway, according to the troopers' daily dispatch. Troopers found dozens of suspected LSD tabs in his vehicle, but the dispatch lists no drug charge.

Troopers spotted the vehicle driving erratically at about 4:07 a.m. They contacted the driver and noticed signs of impairment. After his arrest, his breath alcohol measured above 0.08.

Troopers found 25 empty shooter bottles in the center console and an empty bottle in the back seat. The suspected LSD tested presumptive positive, a preliminary result; the tabs went to the state crime lab for formal testing.

He was taken to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility, to be released once sober, the dispatch said. The dispatch notes that charges are accusations and that defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
