The Brig is confident the person named in the press release below is U.S District Judge Timothy Burgess of Anchorage. The judge's office was contacted twice to verify whether he had, in fact, received the citation. No reply was received. A copy of the citation, obtained by mail from the court clerk's office in Kenai, shows a middle initial of "M" for the accused. The judge's middle name is Mark. The judge was born in 1956, which is consistent with the age stated in the release. Further, a spokeswoman for the Alaska State Troopers said that according to records they checked, the person cited is Judge Burgess. On Aug. 2, Burgess signed a court paper indicating he was pleading no contest and enclosing the $110 penalty.
From the Alaska State Troopers:
Location: Sterling
Type: Fail to record salmon on personal use permit
On 7/21/10 Alaska Wildlife Troopers contacted Timothy Burgess, 53, of Anchorage, at mile 84 of the Sterling Highway. Investigation revealed that Burgess had harvested five red salmon at the dipnet fisheries in the mouth of the Kenai River and failed to record them on his personal use permit. Burgess was issued a citation for failing to record the salmon on his personal use permit. Bail was set at $110.

The question is: what was he doing on the Sterling Highway, at least 10 miles from the mouth of the Kenai River, that prompted the Troopers to pull him over in the first place?
