Troopers say Curtis Worland was trying to haze a group of muskox away from his dog kennel on Tuesday when one of the muskox attacked.
Curtis Worland was an Alaska State Troopers court services officer. He was attacked and killed by a muskox near Nome on Tuesday. Troopers spokesperson Austin McDaniel said Curtis Worland was trying to haze a group of muskox away from his dog kennel at home when one of the muskox attacked him. He was declared dead at the scene. McDaniel said a 911 dispatcher told troopers about the fatal attack.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers and Alaska Department of Fish and Game will investigate. McDaniel said they may decide to kill the muskox if it’s deemed a public safety threat. “Curtis Worland was a dedicated member of the Alaska Department of Public Safety,” said McDaniel. “He served the state well as a court services officer and he will certainly be missed.”For people, fatal muskox encounters are rare.
