New video shows how a 41-year-old Palmer man crashed a car Wednesday into the lobby doors of the Wasilla Police Department and deployed bear spray in an attempt to intentionally hurt police officers, according to the department. Mario Jackson took the stand Thursday in his own double-murder trial, denying he killed Sheila Agarchuk and Bobby Deloach and insisting he was not the man seen in surveillance footage of the October 2025 shooting.   A man accused of crashing a truck into a downtown Anchorage restaurant more than a year ago, was due in court Thursday — but refused to appear.
