Unalaska, AK – A 28-year-old man was arrested Saturday night on numerous charges after allegedly crashing an SUV, badly damaging a building at UniSea and fleeing from Public Safety Department officers on foot.

Jimmy Sakar is charged with first degree vehicle theft, reckless endangerment, driving under the influence and several lesser offenses. Public safety received a call about an SUV being driven erratically at about 11:30 p.m. and swerving through the bridge construction site without stopping for construction crew members. An officer stopped the vehicle, which Sakar allegedly was driving. But when the officer got out of his own vehicle to speak with him, Sakar sped away at twice the speed limit, according to the police report.

After leading officers on a chase around the S-curves on Airport Beach Road, Sakar turned into the UniSea complex, where he crashed the SUV through a fence and into a boiler building, according to the report. He then allegedly ran away from the vehicle and tried to hide between two bunkhouses, where public safety officers found him.

The owner of the SUV says Sakar wasn't supposed to be driving it, and is pressing charges over the theft of the vehicle, which officers say sustained more than $2000 damage. The boiler building at UniSea is estimated to be a total loss.
