A Juneau man already serving a federal prison sentence on weapons charges was convicted by a jury Monday on multiple drug, assault and other charges, according to a press release issued by the Alaska Department of Law.

Clyde Pasterski, 44, faces up to 36 years in prison following his conviction for multiple counts of misconduct involving controlled substances, second-degree attempted escape, two counts of felony fear assault, one count of fourth-degree assault and resisting arrest, according to the release. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 28.

Pasterski was arrested in May 2020 after the Juneau Police Department executed a search warrant at his residence following Pasterski’s detainment at a traffic stop, the Empire previously reported. Officers investigating the residence found 13 firearms, one stolen, eight seal bombs, a plate carrier with steel plates, four grams of heroin and two grams of methamphetamine.
