On April 8th, 2016 at approximately 06:52am, the Juneau Police Department received a report of a burglary at a residence in the 4000 block of Diane Road. The 50 year old male resident reported that as he walked down his hallway, he saw a male unknown to him standing in his living room. When the resident approached the intruder and asked what he was doing, the intruder swung a crowbar at the resident. The intruder then left the area on foot. There were no injuries and the intruder did not take anything from the residence.

The suspect is described as being a white adult male between 6? ? 6?2? tall with a thin build; wearing a black ski mask and a grey and white long sleeved flannel top.
