Kyle Dumont Charged with OUI After Multiple Citizens Reported Him

At 10:38 AM on March 19, 2024, Anchorage Police Dispatch began receiving phone calls from citizens reporting a Toyota RAV4 that was being driven recklessly southbound on the Glenn Highway from the South Peters Creek exit.  Witnesses reported the suspect driver to be weaving in and out of his lane, almost colliding with other vehicles, and altering his speed back and forth between 50 mph and 70 mph.

A day shift sergeant heard the REDDI locate over the radio.  He positioned himself on the Glenn Highway near the Arctic Valley off ramp.  As the Toyota approached the sergeant, the sergeant saw the Toyota drifting within its lane and then observed the suspect driver jerk the RAV4 back into the center of the lane. After watching the suspect’s driving behavior for a short distance, the sergeant initiated a traffic stop by engaging his emergency equipment.  The suspect driver pulled over to the side of the highway and drove up onto a snowbank.  As the sergeant positioned his police vehicle behind the Toyota, the suspect driver backed up and struck the sergeant’s car.  The police car was not damaged from the strike; the suspect’s vehicle was damaged.

The sergeant approached the RAV4 and began conversing with the sole occupant, 33-year-old Kyle D. Dumont.  During their interaction, the sergeant noticed signs of impairment. Other day shift officers responded to assist; Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) were conducted.  Afterwards the decision was made to charge Dumont with Operating under the Influence.

Dumont was transported to the Anchorage Correctional Complex for further processing.  Once there, Dumont provided a breath sample showing his breath alcohol content was more than three and a half times the legal limit.  He was remanded on the charge of OUI.
