Man arrested for urinating on bouncer

Published Wednesday, January 7, 2009

FAIRBANKS — A Fairbanks man was arrested Sunday morning after allegedly urinating on a Kodiak Jack’s bouncer.

Luke Benson, 22, has been charged with harassment, indecent exposure and making a false report.

The bouncer told police that he was trying to remove Samuel Durkik, 22, of Fairbanks, from the bar for causing a disruption around 2:45 a.m. when the alleged incident occurred.

Durkik allegedly struck the bouncer in the face twice in the course of the confrontation. As the bouncer tried to calm Durkik down, he noticed that Benson was behind him urinating on his leg, according to a criminal complaint filed in court. Durkik also has been charged with fourth-degree assault.

Benson was apparently angry that his friend was being thrown out of the bar.

The bouncer was “extremely upset” that someone had urinated on him, and other bouncers had to prevent him from “going after” Benson. Benson at first gave police a false name according to the complaint. Police noted that both men appeared intoxicated.
