Police eventually arrested Rogers about five miles from downtown Anchorage.
Mr. Deak is already out of the hospital and even went to the office for a year-end meeting. He is a native of Hungary who came to the U.S. to get his master’s in landscape architecture at the University of Georgia. He moved to Alaska with his wife in January 1994. He is currently working on a Habitat for Humanity project in Spenard.
