An Emmonak man threatened and shot at a neighbor who intervened in a domestic disturbance Saturday, according to Alaska State Troopers.
The disturbance began at the home of 23-year-old Lucas Agathluk, who troopers said in a dispatch was repeatedly hitting a family member in the head.
“A neighbor responded to the residence to assist and Agathluk pointed a rifle at the person and threatened them,” troopers wrote. “The citizen ran from the house and Agathluk started shooting his rifle.”
Agathluk threatened another family member with the rifle and shot at them as well, according to the dispatch.
Troopers later found Agathluk at another family member’s home, and when they tried to take him into custody, he resisted, and “continued to be assaultive at the jail,” troopers said.
Agathluk faces two counts of first-degree attempted murder, two counts each of third- and fourth-degree assault and a single count each of second-degree misconduct involving a weapon, criminal mischief and resisting arrest.
Troopers took Agathluk to Bethel, where he is being held at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Correctional Center.
