Wildlife Warrior Arrested in Alaska | Anchorage News

Steve Kroschel, the controversial wildlife center operator from the Chilkat Valley, turned himself in at Juneau airport after returning from Russia — nearly a year after being charged with animal cruelty. Authorities had seized wolves and even a grizzly bear from his facility, citing severe suffering. Kroschel skipped a December hearing, leading to an arrest warrant, and had been living abroad while pursuing Russian citizenship.

His next court date is September 2nd — and this case, long stalled by his overseas status, is finally moving forward.
