INFORMATION RELEASE
Date: 2014-10-04
From: Sgt. Krag Campbell
Case or Incident: #141004-001
On 10-03-14, at 11:52PM, the Juneau Police Department (JPD) received a report of a man who was stabbed in the chest at a residence on Great Western Street in Douglas.
JPD officers arrived and located a 54 yr male with a stab wound to the chest. The knife used in the stabbing was located in the residence.
Another male was located unconscious on the floor of the residence. He was identified as a 52 yr male, and later identified as the suspect in the stabbing.
EMS and CCFR arrived and transported both males to the Bartlett Regional Hospital (BRH) for a medical evaluation.
The preliminary investigation showed that the 54 yr male and the 52 yr male were involved in an argument. The 52 yr male grabbed a knife and threatened the 54 yr old male, then stabbed him in the chest. A physical altercation ensued and the 52 yr male who is alleged to have done the stabbing was knocked to the ground, disarmed of the knife, and kicked in the head.
At BRH, both males received medical attention. All injuries sustained appear to be non-life threatening.
Alcohol appears to be factor in this incident.
All factual allegations contained in this release are based upon preliminary investigation and are subject to change or clarification as the investigation continues. Any charges reported in this release are merely accusations and all persons named in this release are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
