FAIRBANKS — A Tok man accused of attempted robbery is being held at Fairbanks Correctional Center on $30,000 bail.

In addition to being indicted on the felony robbery charge last week, Christian Rauch 19, faces misdemeanor charges of fourth-degree weapons misconduct and minor consumption.

Rauch, wearing a red bandana to cover his face and carrying a silver handgun, was reportedly rummaging through a Chevron-owned vehicle Aug. 24 behind the Tok Chevron station when he was confronted by two clerks who worked there.

Rauch “squared off” when the clerks approached him but ran away after being struck in the chest, trooper spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said.

The clerks did not know Rauch had a gun on him at the time. The weapon was recovered a short time later when Rauch was arrested near the gas station.

Rauch also faces felony burglary, theft and criminal mischief charges in another Tok case filed earlier this year, according to court records.

Let's take responsibility of our OWN actions, the legal age is 18 and then after that you are on your own. All we can do is pray that we have taught our children right from wrong and pray they make it through the hell years and hope they survive it.

Too bad they cant print that the boy was just passing through the parking lot, never did enter or threaten the place of buisness. He then got slapped around by the employee and roughed up by the troopers. He was returning from a friends house, on foot and was just using the parking lot as a short cut home. I wish the reporters would put that in the news paper.

Let's hope they prosecute him. I wonder if he was "babied" his whole life?? Hope justice will prevail here. Tired of this crap happening over and over.
