Alaska State Troopers are looking for a Kaltag man who remains at large following a pair of alleged domestic-violence incidents last week in the Yukon River village.
Arlo Olson, 40, is sought on charges including kidnapping and multiple counts of assault and criminal mischief, troopers said in dispatches late last week. During the first incident, reported on the afternoon of May 7, troopers said Olson "chopped the door of his girlfriend's house."
In the second case, troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said, troopers learned that Olson had "strangled his adult girlfriend and did not let her leave the residence."
"At one point during the incident she ran out of the house," Peters wrote in an email. "He chased her down and made her go back in the house. The woman got help from a family member and contacted troopers."
A trooper visited Kaltag four times in an effort to find Olson but wasn't able to locate him during any of those visits, Peters said Monday.
Anyone with information on Olson's whereabouts is asked to call troopers' Galena post at 800-656-1203.
