Miner Charged In Alaska Pipeline Explosion Case
A 26 year old miner, Larry Wertz, was arrested near Fairbanks for malicious destruction of property tied to explosions along the Alaska pipeline. He carried a rifle and pistol, bail set at 100000, and officials say the blast caused minor damage but did not halt oil transmission. The first Prudhoe Bay crude was expected to reach Valdez later today as police search for more details on the five suspected blasts reported Monday night.
