TUESDAY, JULY 24, 2001 Under a plea agreement made with authorities, a 20-year-old white male on Monday admitted to playing a limited role in the paint-ball attacks of Alaska Natives on the streets of Anchorage. Charles Wiseman admits to videotaping the January 14 incident. But he says he didn't drive, fire the gun or make racist statements about Alaska Natives. As part of a sentencing hearing scheduled for August 31, Wiseman will be allowed to dispute whether he made deragatory remarks. Wiseman was originally charged with seven misdemeanor assault counts. Yesterday's plea dismissed four of the counts. Two juveniles have been implicated in the attacks. Get the Story:
