DUI

Heather Marie Fernandez, 34, of Fort Wainwright, was charged with driving under the influence after Fort Wainwright police contacted her Friday on Trainor Gate Road. Fernandez had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and poor balance at the time police contacted her, according to a criminal complaint filed in court. She also was charged with refusal to submit to a chemical test.

Theft

A 36-year-old woman is believed to have fled the state after allegedly stealing thousands of dollars from her former employer.

Cheryl L. Hutson has been charged with second-degree felony theft and third-degree misdemeanor theft.

Court documents allege that in July, Hutson stole more than $2,500 from A&W Wholesale and tried to cover up the thefts using fake invoices. She also took another $1,100 of company money to pay off a credit card and traded hair nets from her work for tanning at a local business, according to the criminal complaint filed in court.

The alleged thefts occurred in early July, shortly before Hutson quit her job and left the state. Troopers believe she is living in South Dakota but have been unable to contact her, according to the complaint.
