On 9/25/17, Curtis J. Demmert, age 31 of Klawock, was charged with one count each of Commercial Fish Closed Period, Commercial Fish Closed Waters, filing False Information on an ADF&G Fish Ticket and Unlawful Possession of Fish. The charges originated after Wildlife Troopers on Prince of Wales Island received a report of illegal commercial fishing near the headwaters of a bay on Dall Island.

The salmon were then sold to a fish buyer. The proceeds of the sale have been confiscated by AWT for possible forfeiture. The Prince of Wales District Court issued multiple search warrants related to the investigation including a seizure warrant for the vessel. The F/V Tlingit Lady, as well as its seine net, seine skiff, and all fishing gear were seized. Demmert has a mandatory appearance in the Prince of Wales District Court.
