Assault, July 19 — Officers responded to a reported assault in the Grand Aleutian hotel lobby, and met with several people involved in the alleged incident. The victim, who had certainly been struck in the eye, identified as the assailant a man who had multiple witnesses to attest that he was not in fact the perpetrator. In spite of the presence of many people in the lobby at the time, no substantive leads to other suspects could be developed.
Trespass, July 20 — Officer issued a trespass advisement for all UniSea property, per UniSea management.
Domestic disturbance, July 24 — An argument between a man and his girlfriend which started with the destruction of their respective Hungry-Man dinners escalated to further acts of violence.

Decker, 27, of Unalaska, was arrested on one count of assault.
Welfare check, July 24 — Officer checked on a drunk who had phoned the police station several times with ambiguous statements about activities in his home.

Fire response, July 25 — Fire and EMS personnel extricated the driver of a forklift which had fallen over on a dock.
