This village appears to be taking a serious no-nonsense approach to the drugs and alcohol that plague them and many other villages as well. I am speculating when I say that this man's importation of alcohol was more likely than not- causing problems in the community. I understand that many people are taken aback by the Togiak Council's actions- it was extreme, but they don't want it there! If it were the other way around and this gent was Alaska Native, there would be many saying- Hey! He's your problem- deal with it and quit wasting "our" money prosecuting him. I have seen a couple of comments here saying- "believe it or not you still live in the United States- you can't do that.... " Yup- they do and not exactly by choice- they were here before we moved in and He resided in their village- a DRY village at that.  Allow him in to collect his things, allow him a chance to sell his property and move on. He knew what was at stake - It's time to pay the piper.
