Woman charged with violating court-appointed custodian duty

ANCHORAGE — A 50-year-old Kenai resident serving as a court-appointed custodian has been charged with violating her duties.

Alaska State Troopers say 50-year-old Raylene Wallace failed to report that 32-year-old Natasha Miller of Soldotna had left her custody.

Miller has felony theft and drug charges pending. She had been released to Wallace, who was required to report if Miller left her care.

Troopers say Miller on Monday was found in a vehicle near Kenai and that Wallace knew she had left.

Miller is charged with violating conditions of her release and giving false information about her identity. She’s being held without bail.

Wallace is charged with violating custodian duties. She remained jailed Tuesday at Wildwood Pretrial Facility with bail set at $500. She was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon.
