New state trooper supervisor for Bristol Bay stops in

KDLG

Sgt. Luis Nieves oversees state trooper efforts in Bristol Bay. He's been on the job at the Dillingham post since late spring.

Transcript from Bristol Bay and Beyond: Since the boats have come, crime around the area has spiked. There's a yet unsolved murder being investigated in Ivanoff Bay and a growing list of assaults, mischief, and DUIs.

A new supervisor is leading the state trooper efforts to combat these problems, and he stopped by to introduce himself this week.
