Likes: I saw the headlines but could not open the article in ADN. I hope she is hauled off in cuff’s, booked and have to post bail but that may be wishful thinking.
Can someone post the reticle?

I think they only give you so many articles per month then they start blocking you and require you to subscribe. You might try a different device.Originally Posted by G44

The owner of a well-known restaurant in Halibut Cove was indicted last week on federal charges accusing her of engaging in a dangerous interaction between a boat and floatplane last summer.
The incident Aug. 23 in the small community across Kachemak Bay from Homer was captured on video and has been widely circulated online. The footage shows a boat making extremely close passes in front of a float-equipped de Havilland Beaver DHC-2.
A federal grand jury indicted Marian Beck, owner of The Saltry Restaurant, on Jan. 19 on charges of attempted destruction of an aircraft and gross negligent operation of a vessel. Beck declined to comment on the case when reached by phone Thursday but said she did nothing wrong and has hired an attorney.
The plane’s pilot, Eric Lee, previously told the Anchorage Daily News that he was initially confused when the boat began making passes at his plane, appearing to come “straight at” him. Lee, who owns Alaska Ultimate Safaris out of Homer, said he was taking a group of people on a sightseeing tour of Katmai National Park and Preserve that day.
Lee told a reporter he flew into the west entrance of Halibut Cove, picked up passengers from the Stillpoint Lodge, and was taxiing back into the bay with seven passengers when the aluminum boat began making passes at the plane.
Lee, who could not be reached by phone Thursday, said at the time he did not know the woman driving the boat, which came within feet of the aircraft.
The indictment against Beck contains few details about the incident. It’s unclear what may have motivated her actions. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Schmidt said Thursday he was not able to comment on the case.
Beck and her husband opened The Saltry in 1984. She is one of four children of the late Clem Tillion, a longtime, influential state legislator who died in 2021.
Beck is scheduled to appear at an arraignment hearing next week.

I'm cautiously optimistic but the timing stinks to high heaven. A few days ago the 'troopers' hauled a woman out of her home and off to involuntary psychiatric evaluation (three days worth). Come to find out the court order, which the 'troopers' accepted from a civilian, not a court officer, was bogus and they never verified. Yeah, oops. Maybe getting some charges on Marian will deflect a little from their latest f-up.

That's fed charges and has nothing to do with state charges from the troopers. She is in a huge amount of trouble and rightfully so endangering people lives.
Troopers did the investigation.

As Deputy Fife would say, “She’s a Nut!!”
Both the pilot and passengers must have been terrified throughout the taxi and flight thinking the boater was trying to warn them that the plane was on fire or something else was terribly wrong with it. I hope they seek civil remedies, too, for her misconduct.
It is nice to know that being a “Karen” means facing a long “time out” in a federal prison. Whatever sentence she receives will be far too lenient.

What is it with the offspring of legislators who seem to think they are untouchable? Just this week there was an incident in Boston with the "son/daughter" of a legislator and in the recent past with the son of the governor.

I think it’s “learned behavior.” They’re copying their parent(s).

Look up the penalties for the charges. My guess is she will get a 5-10k fine, a years probation and hopefully loose the CG captain license.
