Two "Alaskan Bush People" stars convicted of lying on Permanent Fund dividend applications reported to Juneau last week to serve their 30-day sentences on ankle monitors, an Alaska Department of Corrections spokesman said Monday. Billy Brown, the 63-year-old patriarch of the family, and his 31-year-old son, Joshua "Bam Bam" Brown, were sentenced to 30 days in jail earlier this year after they each pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of second-degree unsworn falsification. In return for their guilty pleas, charges were dropped against other family members involved in the case. Corey Allen-Young, spokesman for Department of Corrections, said Monday that the father and son reported to Juneau for their 30 days of electronic monitoring last Wednesday. Allen-Young said they must report to a probation officer in Juneau and provide urine samples at least once a week. Inmates who want to serve their prison sentences at home must apply for the department's electronic monitoring program, Allen-Young said. The department requires that inmates in the program meet a list of qualifications, including no weapons or alcohol in their homes. They also cannot be convicted sex offenders and must have a working landline phone, among other requirements. Read More. |
