False Cinco de Mayo arrest?
What could possibly go wrong with phony state troopers clocking in so many hundreds of hours on the beat every single day?
The trouble is that it’s just not a warrantable offense. Misdemeanors aren’t miniature felonies for small-town cops without morals to play with in court.

On 05/05/2026 at about 1536 hours, the Alaska State Troopers in Ketchikan contacted and arrested Elizabeth Jackson, age 25 of Ketchikan in the 2400 Block of Tongass Avenue. Jackson had an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the Ketchikan Courthouse stemming the the original charges of Disorderly Conduct. Jackson was transported and remanded to Ketchikan Correctional Center on her No Bail warrant.
It would appear that a drunken cop “arrested” a sober lady based on some rumors or small-town gossip or local bar talk suggesting that she might possibly have been drunk at some undetermined point in past.
And 1536 hours? What time of day is that? Isn’t it a little bit early for cops to be cruising the streets to pick up drunks and prostitutes? I suppose cops usually do eat out for lunch on duty, and restaurants usually do serve alcohol with the food, so by the time the cops are back to work for the afternoon after eating lunch, that’s when the lunchtime drinks really start to take effect.
