July 20, 2026 – A Juneau woman’s decision to fling a bag of dog poop on the steps of the Alaska Governor’s Mansion has cost her just $70.
Security camera footage from June 4 shows a woman walking two dogs along Calhoun Avenue before entering the mansion’s circular driveway. She approaches the front steps, where authorities say she tossed a bag containing dog feces, then walks away with the dog.
Police tracked the woman down and identified her as Heather Amanda Houston, born in 1986. She was cited under the City and Borough of Juneau’s prohibition against littering in a public place. Here’s the footage:
The case was filed in Juneau District Court as City and Borough of Juneau v. Heather Amanda Houston, case number 1JU-26-00662MO.

Court records show Houston entered a no-contest plea and was convicted of littering in a public place involving less than one square foot of litter. The noncriminal infraction carried a total fine of $70, which she paid.
Dog waste may occupy less than one square foot, but it is hardly ordinary litter. Fecal material is unsanitary and can carry bacteria and parasites, making its placement on the entrance to a public residence more than merely an aesthetic offense.
Houston is previously identified publicly as general manager of the Silverbow Inn in downtown Juneau. It is unclear whether she remains employed at that business, owned by Ken Alper and his wife. Alper worked for former Gov. Bill Walker as director of the Tax Division and is a prominent liberal in Juneau politics.
Nothing in the available court record establishes whether the act was intended as a political statement or was simply an unusually inconsiderate way to avoid finding a trash can.
It’s not the first time for the Governor’s Mansion during the Dunleavy Administration. In 2020, a man from Soldotna was charged with misdemeanor criminal damage to property after hammering a sign into the front door of the mansion (an original historic door from its 1912 construction). Also in 2020, someone spray painted the pavement in front of the building with “Black Lives Matter.”

Ignorant & Arrogant people in the great state of Alaska (yes they ‘doo’ exist), that think they can get away with despicable behavior and, not be ‘publicly: identified … outed … shammed. The epitome of STOOPID!!!
She did what we all want to doo.
You have a crappy outlook on reality, Evan.
He has no other life than trolling here.
The real Dr Singh Singh is showing his true colors….again. A real Poo slinger. 🙂
Typical crazed Democrat comment. Backwater, swamp thinkers.
Democrats are like 7th graders. Brainwashed, child-like, tantrums, and no common sense. This women is a sicko.
7th grade having tantrums? That used to be for pre-schoolers. My, how the bar has dropped.
When I was in 7th grade, I had a part-time job (off the books, of course, because we can’t legally let a kid earn some money, learn some skills and gain some work experience; the cliched lemonade stand doesn’t quite cut it).
Drugs, sexually abused, cellphones, computer porn, brainwashing by already brainwashed public school teachers …..yes, even at 7th grade they have tantrums if they don’t get what they want.
LOL……same even applies to senior citizen Democrats. Child-like temper tantrums if they don’t get their way. And Trump has made most of them mentally ill. Trump’s desired effect. LOL.
I’ll take this kind of crazed behavior over, I dunno, storming the Capitol and trying to overturn a fair election…
I don’t want to deface public property with feces. Why do you want to destroy property that belongs to the people of this state, and who are you hanging around with that finds literally throwing poop like a monkey to be an acceptable form of expression?
Sling Poop??? Clever.
Howz about community service; scrubbing the Gov’s sidewalk and wiping toosh at the dawgy shelter?
Singh is quite familiar with that diet,,,
Oh Liberals are such happy people!!
Amanda looks like a tranny. Mean appearance. Another mentally ill Democrat. And stupid too. But the dog looks nice and probably has good manners. Her community service sentence should include picking up dog poop all around downtown Juneau while wearing a dunce cap.
Julia, which part of the bible guides your vitriolic statements. Maybe switch to decaffeinated for a few days.
Amanda might be your type of woman, Damon. Not for me. Nor for 90% of American men.
Her dog is better looking than her.
Amanda’s face looks alot like dog poop.
Physical appearance is irrelevant; criticizing it is a logical fallacy. Physical beauty is a fleeting gift; true beauty is in the soul.
The Silver Bow Inn hires some pretty dumb 40-year olds. Even grade school pranksters know about security cameras hung everywhere. This nut job has no brains whatsoever. I’ll never stay at the Silver Bow Inn while in Juneau.
Another AWFL being AWFL
That person is not a woman. That’s an effeminate man.
If he wasn’t ignorant and illiterate he’d KNOW that his action isn’t showing contempt and disrespect to Gov Dunleavy. He’s really showing disrespect to the People of Alaska because the Governor’s Mansion is the people’s house and future generations. The House is a tradition and historic institution. It doesn’t represent the man residing in it for the short-term. It represents Alaskans and Alaska.
Never mind I just read the end of the article.
Poor woman. I thought she looks like a man. She needs to improve her appearance because she does look like an effeminate man.
No,Tina. An ugly man.
Dog walkers in Anchorage throw their dog’s shitbags into the bushes and on people’s lawns all the time. They are just a stupid as this woman.
Funny, I had to carry mine yesterday for the entire walk with my dog. He needed to” go” not long after we set out , so I justcarried the little tiedup bag until we got back and had a trash can to use, annoying, but not exactly difficult
No matter whether it’s a they, them, that, is, or was identification should provide the means to revoke a PFD claim for a couple years; lead by example folks. Adult behavior is inexpensive.
Downing sure flushed out the right wing, low IQ readers with this story. Tina especially. “ That person is not a woman.” Weird she wrote that since the conservatives are so certain of biology.
The biggest mistake is to equate Republican with being conservative. Those days are long gone. Look at out of control spending by the R’s and nobody says a thing.
Things conservatives told me when I was in my 20’s: *Character counts
*Crony capitalism is bad
*Russia is our enemy
*Tariffs are taxes
*The Constitution is sacrosanct
*Government power should be limited, restrained, and checked by congress.
Guess they were just joking.
Point taken Damon.
Evan,
Go hug your Democrat tranny poop tosser. You have lots in common with her/him/theirs….
Its not the conservatives who have difficulty with biology, We’re not the ones claiming that it can be changed by surgery, like your co – religionists on the Left
She may have pulled done this ignorant stunt to let the liberals know the Silverbow Inn is a safe shelter for them when they travel to Alaska’s capital city?
The association of a business with the independent actions of someone who may or may not work there is (for want of a better word) shitty. Also noting the name of a person who has nothing to do with the incident is also shitty. Did Mr. Alper or the Silverbow direct them to fling this shit? Was it done while representing either? Obviously not, so it is not relevant to the shit being flung in this (s)hit piece.
The Alaska Story’s shit flinging game sees the quality of Ms. Holland’s shit flinging game and finds it wanting.
What a disgrace. Making political statements in that manner is disrespectful of our entire culture.
Wayne. I feel the same way about the January 6 domestic terrorists who mistook the floor and walls of the Capitol of the United States of America for a toilet.
I understand and agree with your perspective. I believe we should take it a step further and condemn the tyrants who blocked Trump’s request for National Guard presence….. not to mention the tyrant that murdered Ashley Babbitt who was unarmed.
