‘Alaskan Bush People’ Still Haven’t Paid Their $12K Fine


Billy Brown and his son Bam Bam of Alaskan Bush People could be in some hot water. It turns out these two stars of Alaskan Bush People have still not paid their $12k fine that is owed. They aren’t to the deadline just yet, but everyone expected them to be paying on it already. Radar Online shared the details about how Billy and Bam Bam still owe this fine, but for some reason haven’t paid it. You know that the Brown family makes good money off their show, so this isn’t a huge amount that they couldn’t afford. So far, the Brown family of Alaskan Bush People has been quiet about why they haven’t paid any of their fine just yet.

It has been almost a year since the two guys from Alaskan Bush People were sentenced and told to pay this $12,000 fine. You would think that it would have been paid off by now, but they haven’t done it. They were sentenced on felony charges of unsworn falsification and theft.

The pair of Alaskan Bush People was sentenced for lying on forms and saying that they were living in Alaska when they were not, but they were still cashing the checks for being a citizen of the state. They were told to pay this fine but were also put on house arrest. Billy and Bam Bam almost went to jail but were lucky enough to get house arrest instead. They are not late on the fine yet. The entire thing is required to be paid by January 11, 2017, so they may be deciding to wait and pay it all at the last minute. They still have about a month to handle paying off this big debt that they owe.

A spokesperson for Juneau Trial Court confirmed that they have still not received anything from the guys from Alaskan Bush People.
