David Bower – Soldotna Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In July 2023, Officer David Bower was arrested on a fourth-degree domestic violence assault charge. The incident led to his placement on administrative leave and subsequent retirement in April 2024. In June 2024, Bower was acquitted of the assault charge after a five-day trial. The jury found him not guilty of recklessly causing physical injury to another person. Bower’s attorney argued that his use of force was reasonable and proportional, and the jury’s verdict supported this defense.

Why This Matters
