FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A 22-year-old Fairbanks soldier has been charged with assaulting his wife and a commanding officer.

Alaska State Troopers say Bronson Patrick Bourg of the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team at Fort Wainwright was charged Friday with assault and resisting arrest.

Troopers say Bourg and his wife had been drinking at a bar and that he assaulted her in their vehicle and caused her to drive off the road.

Her father and brother took the couple home, and troopers say Bourg beat and choked the woman again.

She called his military squad leader, who called troopers.

Troopers say Bourg assaulted the Army officer and the arresting officers as he was taken into custody.
