Man arrested after a reported robbery at a Fairbanks sporting goods shop; no court file has been opened

The Alaska State Troopers daily dispatch, incident AK26101825, posted at 6:16 p.m. on Oct. 12, records that at 13:46 on Oct. 12 troopers responded to Beaver Sports in Fairbanks for a reported robbery, that the investigation determined that Daniel Schwietert, 25, of Fairbanks committed the crimes of robbery in the first degree, misconduct involving a weapon in the third degree and assault in the third degree, and that he was placed under arrest and remanded to the Fairbanks Correctional Center.

No court file under that name corresponds to the incident. A CourtView name search limited to Sept. 1 to Oct. 13, 2026 returns no records, and an unfiltered search returns no criminal case more recent than one filed in 2025. The three offences above are charges recorded by police, not counts on a court record, and no charge class is stated because none appears on any court file. He is arrested, not charged on a court record and not convicted.
