Following a lengthy investigation, authorities accused two Anchorage men of illegally selling thousands of bottles of vodka during the last few years in a scheme that intentionally targeted homeless residents.
Bottles of vodka seized in May 2023 after a monthslong investigation into illegal sales that authorities say targeted homeless people in Anchorage.
Charges filed earlier this month against Brandon Reed and Andrew Tyone came as the result of a lengthy investigation between the Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office and the Anchorage Police Department, officials at both agencies said. Reed purchased more than 3,500 bottles of Kirkland’s Signature American Vodka from Costco for more than $50,000 since the investigation began, the Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office said in a statement. He also purchased water bottles in bulk.
“The volume of vodka this one man and his accomplice allegedly sold to the people experiencing homelessness in Anchorage, at a great personal profit, is staggering,” she said in the statement. “The impact of those sales to individuals and the citizens of Anchorage who want and deserve a safe place to live has yet to be measured.”
