INFORMATION RELEASE
Date: 2014-01-03
From: Lt. Kris Sell
Case or Incident: #140101-014
On January 1st, 2014, at about 9:53 in the evening, the Juneau Police Department received a report that a 20 year old Juneau man was tased, punched, and robbed by his friend, 29 year old Dustin Daley. The incident happened in the Costco parking lot. Daley allegedly took property from the 20 year old male victim, assaulting that victim and his 21 year old female companion who tried to defend the male victim when he was on the ground. Daley was accompanied by a man who participated in the assaults but has not yet been identified. According to one of the victims, Daley?s companion was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and a black mask with a skull on it. The man in the mask was reported to have had a handgun during the confrontation.
Daley and the unidentified man were in a silver Dodge pickup with four doors and a broken driver?s side window covered in plastic. The vehicle left the area and was later found in a neighborhood near the police department after an officer remembered seeing that pickup before near JPD. Daley was contacted at the vehicle but the gun and the other man were not located.
Information about this incident was not previously released as officers hoped to find the other man involved and the handgun but have so far been unsuccessful. Additionally, danger to the general public was considered minimal as the victim says the incident could have been over drugs and Daley says the confrontation was definitely over drugs. A Crown Royal bag containing what appears to be heroin, a white powder that could be an illegal drug, a marijuana pipe and marijuana was recovered from Daley?s vehicle. The mask with the skull on it was also recovered from that pickup.
JPD is seeking assistance in finding Daley?s male associate and the handgun that man reportedly had at the time of the assault. The male associate is probably someone who was regularly around Daley.
Daley was lodged at the Lemon Creek Correctional Center on a charge of robbery in the 1st degree, two counts of assault in the 4th degree, and one count of theft in the 3rd degree.
