Another man found in the residence, Edwin Stoltenberg, 32, was arrested for violating the conditions of his release. In January, Stoltenberg fled from troopers on an ATV, and barricaded himself into his home while he tried to reach the petitioner of a domestic violence claim. he was free on a $5,000 bail for charges stemming from the incident, according to online court records.
Stoltenberg's required third-party custodian, named by troopers as 51-year-old Diane Withrow, was not immediately present. When she returned to the residence, Withrow was arrested for violation of custodial duties, troopers said.
All four were taken to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility.
