Former state Rep. Dean Westlake’s son is charged with beating Westlake to death Saturday morning in Anchorage.

Tallon called 911 a little before 7 a.m. Saturday asking for an ambulance for his dad, who he said was not awake. Dispatchers asked Tallon to see if his father was breathing, and after first telling them he “did not want to be next to a dead body,” Tallon did check and told them Dean was not breathing and was cold and stiff, the charges say.

Tallon had an open warrant for a 2021 case in which he allegedly failed to stop at the direction of a police officer, so the detectives arrested him and brought him in for questioning. The detectives soon learned that Dean’s girlfriend, who was out of town, owned the building. The charges said that she told them by phone from New York that Tallon had been living in the apartment but had not paid rent in four months and that Dean had planned to evict Tallon.

“She heard a lot of ‘F you’s’ and ‘get the “F’ out,’” the charges said. “The other person then said, ‘Screw you. I’m not leaving.’”
