Alaska State Troopers have taken a 16-year-old Crooked Creek boy into custody after a reported hostage situation in the Kuskokwim River village. Troopers were alerted on Saturday with a phone call that the teen was holding people hostage at gunpoint and threatening to kill family members. When officers arrived, a woman and two children had escaped, but the teen remained inside a home with two other women. After a brief struggle, the teen was taken into custody and charged with assault, weapons misconduct and reckless endangerment.
