Woman arrested after Bethel police respond to reports of gunfire

Two people were taken into custody by the Bethel Police Department after reports of gunfire Monday night.

A call came in about 9 p.m. warning of an intoxicated man wearing a dark hoodie yelling and shooting a handgun on a boardwalk between Akakeek and Owl streets, according to a press release Tuesday afternoon.

Witnesses told responding officers that it was a fight between a man and a woman.

Police have not yet identified the man, who they say was taken into protective custody because he was too intoxicated.

Police identified the woman as Kimberly Evans, 22, of Bethel.

Evans was charged with assaulting an officer and taken to the Yukon Kuskokwim Correctional Center.
