Tok man arrested, charged with shooting into sporting store

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - A Tok man has been jailed after troopers say he fired a gun into a sporting goods store while his wife was locked inside.

The Daily News-Miner reports (https://bit.ly/1cd6DJ3 ) that Alaska State Troopers responded to calls about a disturbance at Three Bears Outpost in Tok and found a 59-year-old man leaving the area.

Officials say he was intoxicated and had been arguing with his wife. When he tried to enter the sporting goods store to contact her, the manager locked him out.

Troopers say the man then fired three shots into the store with his handgun, narrowly missing the manager.

They charged the man with misconduct involving weapons, assault and driving under the influence.
