Alaska State Troopers arrested a Chefornak man for a list of charges, including terroristic threatening of health care workers offering COVID-19 vaccines.
On July 15, a tribal police officer in Chefornak called the Alaska State Troopers. According to a trooper affidavit, the officer reported that two men were walking around the village with long guns. The men were protesting the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation’s plans to send a team to Chefornak to distribute COVID-19 vaccines.
One of the men protesting was Eric Wasili, age 38, who the affidavit says has “extensive history” with troopers. The men were not breaking any laws, but troopers advised the Chefornak Tribal Council to contact them if the men’s protest continued, so that troopers could escort the health care workers if necessary.
