‘Dedicated’ Alaska Officer ‘Tragically Killed’ After Being Attacked by Muskox Outside His Home

A court services officer with the Alaska State Troopers died on Tuesday after being attacked by a muskox outside of his home.

“We are deeply saddened to report that one of our own, Court Services Officer Curtis Worland, was tragically killed during a muskox attack near Nome earlier today,” the Alaska State Troopers wrote in a social media tribute.

Worland was “attempting to haze a group of muskox from near his dog kennel at his home when one of the muskox attacked him,” according to a news release from the authorities. He was declared dead at the scene.

Nome Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Departments Chief Jim West Jr. said Worland had a significant wound to his femoral artery, according to The Nome Nugget. (Read more from “‘Dedicated’ Alaska Officer ‘Tragically Killed’ After Being Attacked by Muskox Outside His Home” HERE)
