After a gunfire exchange in a Soldotna neighborhood in November, a Soldotna man has been arrested on multiple charges involving drugs and weapons.

Alaska State Troopers arrested Scott Hashemian of Soldotna, 32, on Dec. 27 while searching another house in Soldotna, according to a trooper dispatch. Hashemian was identified as a suspect in a late-night gunfire exchange in Soldotna’s Big Eddy neighborhood on Nov. 22. No injuries were reported, but the house was struck by gunfire, according to the trooper dispatch.

Troopers located Hashemian near a school in Soldotna on Dec. 14 and found he had multiple types of controlled substances and a .45 caliber handgun within 500 feet of a school building. The troopers then issued a $25,000 warrant for his arrest, according to the dispatch.
