Wasilla Man Arrested on Domestic Violence Assault Charge
Alaska State Troopers arrested a 33-year-old Wasilla man on domestic violence assault charges after responding to a disturbance on Quiet Circle late Monday night.
Ross Turner faces a charge of fourth-degree domestic violence assault following the April 28 incident, according to a dispatch report from the Alaska Department of Public Safety. Troopers responded to the residence at approximately 10 p.m.
Investigators determined that Turner assaulted a family member, causing physical injury. A child under 16 years old was present in the home during the incident, according to the report.
Troopers arrested Turner without incident. He was remanded to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility and held without bail.
The Department of Public Safety did not release the identity of the victim or details about the extent of injuries sustained in the assault.
Fourth-degree assault is a Class A misdemeanor in Alaska. When the offense involves domestic violence, courts can impose additional conditions including no-contact orders and mandatory treatment programs.
The presence of a child during a domestic violence incident can affect charging decisions and sentencing. Prosecutors had not filed additional charges as of Tuesday.
The April 28 arrest was one of several domestic violence cases handled by Alaska State Troopers in the Wasilla area that day, according to the daily dispatch log.
Mat-Su Pretrial Facility houses defendants awaiting trial or initial court appearances. Bail decisions are made by magistrates or judges based on factors including the nature of the offense, criminal history, and risk to the community.
Anyone experiencing domestic violence can contact the Alaska State Troopers or local police. The Abused Women's Aid in Crisis hotline provides 24-hour support at 1-800-478-7273. The Mat-Su area also has local resources through the Family Violence Prevention Services of the Valley, which operates a crisis line at 907-746-4080.
