WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - A 38-year-old man has been charged with firing a gun at a home in Big Lake, an unincorporated community north of Wasilla.

Alaska State Troopers say Paul Meixner of Big Lake was arrested late Saturday night.

Troopers at 11:30 p.m. took a call that multiple rounds had been fired at the home. Meixner was found in the area a short time later.



Trooper investigators say Meixner apparently fired the shots and fled in a sport utility vehicle.

He’s charged with felony weapons misconduct and felony assault.

He’s being held at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility with bail set at $15,000 cash.
