Court Service Officer Curtis Worland died from injuries he received when a musk ox attacked him near Nome.
Officer Worland was using his snowmobile to scare the musk oxen away from his dog mushing team while on a paid work break. A musk ox charged him, and the horn punctured his leg, striking his femoral artery. Officer Worland drove away from the musk ox but was found unresponsive on his snowmobile at 12:30 pm.
Officer Worland had served with the Alaska State Troopers for 13 years. He is survived by his wife, parents, and siblings.
