An Alaska police chief is back to work after a felony assault charge was dropped and he was cleared in an internal investigation.
According to court documents, Alaska State Troopers responded to the Salmon Falls Resort restaurant on Sept. 10 to investigate a report of an assault involving a man, Walls and Walls’ wife, Sharon.
Witnesses told investigators the man was intoxicated and causing disturbances throughout the evening. The man intentionally bumped into the chair of the chief, who was off-duty at the time, and apologized. The two men shook hands, according to the indictment. The prosecutor’s error was “significant enough to warrant dismissal of the indictment,” the judge said.Following the dismissal, the city also concluded its own probe.
“As I have said from the start, Chief Walls did absolutely nothing wrong,” Walls’ attorney, Jay Hochberg, said in an email to the Ketchikan newspaper. “ used reasonable and proportionate force to detain an intoxicated man who had just committed an assault in his presence. He is a dedicated public servant whose actions were entirely authorized by law.”
