Two days later, Sunday night, the Kenai Peninsula Bureau of Highway Patrol team stopped a white 1994 Ford Escort after observing the occupants not wearing seat belts.
One passenger was identified as 31 year-old Christopher Diehl of Kenai and found to have an outstanding felony no bail warrant from the Kenai Police Department.
