When a person or entity is convicted of unlawful importation of alcoholic beverages into a local option community, Alaska law requires the forfeiture of any aircraft used to facilitate the transportation of the alcoholic beverages into the local option community. AS 04.16.220(a)(3), (i)(1) ; see State v. Jouppi , 397 P.3d 1026, 1031-32 (Alaska App. 2017). At sentencing, Jouppi and Ken Air argued that this mandatory forfeiture provision did not apply to them because Jouppi was apprehended as he was preparing to take off — i.e. , before any alcoholic beverages were actually transported to the local option community.
