A prominent Alaska psychiatrist faces a criminal charge for allegedly punching a man in the face for not wearing a face mask in a Juneau Fred Meyer earlier this month.

Joshua Sonkiss, 49, was charged with a single count of misdemeanor assault for the incident. He appeared in court Wednesday.

The 53-year-old victim, Bowen Dallmann, told police Sonkiss “punched him in the face” for “not wearing a mask” at the Juneau grocery store on June 1, according to a citation filed by Juneau municipal prosecutors.

The document notes a witness backed up Dallmann’s account.

“Dallmann wanted to pursue assault charges,” the citation says.

Sonkiss told police he “felt threatened by Dallmann,” according to the citation.

Sonkiss specializes in forensic psychology and chemical dependency and is a past president of the Alaska Psychiatric Association. He has held a variety of high-level positions around the state, including the director of the behavioral health unit at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital.

If he felt threatened he could have walked away.

Everyone in the psychology/psychiatry industry are CRAZY. I’ve never met one yet that was in the normal range of human behavior.

When you are emergency detained by the police and sent for a psych eval - this is the guy who will determine if you’re a danger to yourself or others!

"...a past president of the Alaska Psychiatric Association..."

That pretty much nails the case on his craziness.

That’s the problem. Crazy people need sane people to cure them. And there are not any available.

He shoulda donned a second mask to provide the protection a mask on the unmasked guy would have provided to him.

Whatta dummy.

Psychiatrists are all crazy.

Every psychiatrist I have met is unstable. One male psychiatrist I know has been married (and divorced) 4 times before the age of 50. Another woman know walks her cat around the neighborhood on a leash. Yet another I know has had many abortions - those of us who know her think at least 6 or 7.

That's what my late District Judge dad frequently used to tell me after suffering dozens of them as "expert" witnesses.

I’ve heard many people study psychiatry to figure out their own issues.
