Bruce Weyhrauch
Bruce Weyhrauch is a former legislator in the Alaska State House representing Juneau. In May 2007, Weyhrauch, along with fellow legislators Pete Kott and Vic Kohring were charged in connection with a scandal involving oilfield service company VECO attempting to buy government favors in Alaska.〔(Corruption investigation who's who ''Anchorage Daily News November 16th, 2008'' )〕 The ensuing investigation led to the widely publicized trial and conviction of Senator Ted Stevens. Weyrauch was charged with bribery, extortion, conspiracy and mail fraud. On October 15, 2007, he was convicted and sentenced to 5 years in prison.〔http://www.usatoday.com, October 15, 2010, "Ex-Alaska lawmaker sentenced to 5 years" by Don Joling -AP〕 As of January 2009, his trial was granted an indefinite stay while issues involved are re-examined by the U.S. Supreme Court.〔(Weyhrauch trial on hold for appeal ''Anchorage Daily News January 23rd, 2009'' )〕 As a result of this re-examination, all charges have been dismissed.
Weyhrauch was stranded on Coghlan Island in the Juneau area on April 22, 2007, after he fell out of his boat at about 6:00 PM that night; he was forced to swim to the island. The United States Coast Guard District Seventeen, Sector Juneau, searched for Weyhrauch during the night. A volunteer rescue team from the nonprofit organization (SEADOGS ) located him at approximately 11:00 AM on April 23.
