Update Nov. 15 at 3:30 p.m.: Geiser was found and taken into custody at an Anchor Point residence at around 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15, according to a trooper dispatch. He was located after a tip was received by troopers from the public.

Original story: Alaska State Troopers are asking for the public’s help in a search for a man wanted on multiple felony warrants.

Troopers, on Thursday evening, posted via their Facebook page that they are seeking information on Tanner Allen Geiser, who was last seen Thursday in Nikolaevsk near Anchor Point.

Geiser, 36, was arrested earlier this year following a 30-minute chase in Ninilchik, according to Peninsula Clarion files. Geiser was allegedly driving a motorcycle and when troopers attempted to arrest him, he “failed to stop and led troopers on a lengthy pursuit for about 30 minutes,” the Clarion previously reported.

Geiser’s outstanding warrant in July was connected to 2021 charges of disorderly conduct and escape, which he pleaded guilty to last year, according to Clarion files.

He was charged in September with first-degree robbery armed with a deadly weapon, first-degree vehicle theft and third-degree felon in possession of a weapon.

The public is advised that if they do see Geiser, to not approach and call 911 or Trooper Dispatch at 907-262-4453. Those seeking anonymity can submit tips via the AKTips smartphone app or online at dps.alaska.gov/tips.
