On June 29, a Bethel man allegedly tried to run from law enforcement officials just after being convicted of incest and sexual assault in the second degree. Clarence E. James’ conviction stemmed from a 2017 incident in Tununak in which he sexually assaulted his victim while she slept.
The 33-year-old was being remanded to the Yukon Kuskokwim Correctional Center after his trial ended, when he allegedly tried to run from police, who were able to tase and apprehend him.
Now he’s facing an additional charge of escape in the second degree, as well as a sentencing for his sexual assault and incest convictions. The sentencing is scheduled for December 10, 2021; James will face 20 to 35 years in prison.

In Kongiganak, a man is accused of firing shots inside a family member’s home on May 9.
Alaska State Troopers responded to a report saying Isaiah Fancyboy, age 34, fired a weapon inside a family member’s arctic entryway. The people inside were able to exit the home safely. Fancyboy then went into the home and barricaded himself inside it. He refused to turn himself in to tribal police officers.
Troopers traveled to Kongiganak. Unable to make contact with Fancyboy, they called for backup, believing that he was heavily armed. More troopers arrived. They entered the home and found Fancyboy “passed out on a couch.”
