From The Associated Press:
BARROW — An Alaska State Trooper arrested a man accused of punching a pregnant woman in the stomach this week.
Troopers say the alleged attack occurred in the village of Selawik — 90 miles east of Kotzebue. The woman, seven months pregnant, was transported to a Kotzebue hospital.
James Foxglove was charged with assault and resisting arrest. The 48-year-old was lodged at the Kotzebue Regional Jail. Another man at the scene, 51-year-old Carl Foxglove, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after reportedly challenging the Trooper to a fight.
Troopers say both Foxgloves were highly intoxicated.
In other trooper news, 34-year-old Jeffrey Roland Adams of Kivalina was found dead in his home Thursday night. No foul play is suspected and the state medical examiner will work to find out how Adams died.
In Quinhagak, troopers investigated a reported sexual assault of a girl Friday, leading to the arrest of 74-year-old Moses Williams for failure to register as a sex offender. Williams was convicted in 1999 of sexual abuse of a minor.
