Additional charges have been filed against a Prince of Wales Island man accused in the death of his girlfriend.
Albert Peter Macasaet III, 27, is charged in the July 31 strangling death of Judylee Guthrie, 27, of Hydaburg.
He was arrested Aug. 9 in Klawock following a 10-hour standoff with Alaska State Troopers, but was immediately hospitalized for an alleged drug overdose.
Macasaet was released from PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center on Aug. 15. The next day he was arraigned in Ketchikan District Court on one count of first degree murder.
A Ketchikan grand jury indicted Macasaet on Thursday on one count of first degree murder and two counts of kidnapping. All are unclassified felonies.
The grand jury also indicted Macasaet on one count of fourth-degree assault on a peace officer, and one count of resisting or interfering with arrest. Both are Class A misdemeanors.
Macaset is being held on $100,000 bail.
He was scheduled to be arraigned this morning in Craig Superior Court. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 25th.
