A former Alaska Board of Fisheries appointee was indicted this month on 12 felony charges for allegedly accepting Permanent Fund Dividend payments although not eligible to do so at the time.
A Juneau grand jury indicted Roland R. Maw, 72, Feb. 12 on six counts of first-degree unsworn falsification and six counts of second-degree theft. All charges are class C felonies punishable by up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $50,000.
Maw is a former executive director of United Cook Inlet Drift Association, a commercial salmon fishing industry. Gov. Bill Walker appointed Maw to the Alaska Board of Fisheries in January 2015, but his name was withdrawn one month later as issues came to light in another state.
In February 2015, Alaska Wildlife Troopers received a report from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks that Maw purchased a resident Montana sport hunting and fishing license, according to an affidavit filed Jan. 13 by Juneau District Attorney James Scott.
