Residents of Galena purchased a one-way airplane ticket for a woman believed to be dealing drugs as a way of fighting the spread of narcotics there, a report said.

The woman chose to remain on the plane and take a departing flight after being told she would be closely watched if she remained.

Galena used to be an Air Force Base and may well be again. I believe the AF reserved the right to take back over use if they needed to in the future.
Galena is built right on the Yukon River.
Well, that’s sort of what’s happening with the fatal opioid overdoses running rampant. Is there a serious slowdown in usage due to users’ fear of OD deaths yet?
Eskimos could also have just shot her with a .338 Win Mag
