In November 2019, Officer Timothy Abbott submitted false information to the FAA to register a Kitfox Series 5 airplane, falsely claiming ownership through a bill of sale from a previous owner who lacked authority to sell the aircraft. After removing the plane from its location, the actual owner reported it stolen. Abbott returned the aircraft during the investigation. In November 2021, he agreed to resign from the Alaska Wildlife Troopers and permanently relinquish his law enforcement credentials as part of a pretrial diversion agreement to resolve the false statement charge.
