Alaska State Troopers arrested 29-year old Aaron Ober last Thursday night at the Talkeetna Village Park for criminal trespassing. Troopers say he was intoxicated and created a disturbance at the park. Ober was taken to the Mat-Su pretrial facility and arraigned in Palmer court. Earlier this month, Ober was arrested twice in one week for being drunk and fighting in the park. Back then, he was arrested and told not to return to the village park. When he did return last Thursday night, he was placed under arrest and charged. His bail is set at $500.
