The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Alaska, the Frontier State, is spreading its wings.
Come next month, it will open a new office in Juneau, the state capital, the Juneau Empire reports.
Former Juneau Assistant District Attorney Jack Schmidt, 38, was recently hired to work in that office, which will be housed in the Federal Building. Meanwhile, Schmidt is working out of the FBI office, the Empire reported.
“He’s already working, we just don’t physically have the space yet,” Alaska U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler told the Empire.
