INFORMATION RELEASE
Date: 2016-04-29
From: Lt. Kris Sell
Case or Incident: #160429-002/160428-010
On April 28, 2016, at about 10:51 in the evening, a woman called the Juneau Police Department to report a vehicle was stuck in the temporary construction fencing at the Capitol.
Officers responded and arrested 49 year old Alexander Oliphant of Juneau for driving while intoxicated. He was also later charged with refusal to take a breath test. A dog that was in the vehicle was not injured in the collision and was turned over to animal control.
Oliphant volunteered that he had also struck the Governor?s Mansion. JPD contacted a security officer for the Governor. It was determined that the garage door to the Governor?s Mansion was caved in. Video surveillance was reviewed and a member of the Governor?s security detail has confirmed that a man did ram the garage door with a vehicle but did not enter the garage or any other part of the residence.
The investigation is continuing and additional charges are pending.
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.
