On 04/06/20, at 2:46 AM, the Juneau Police Department received a call from a resident in the 1000 block of Coogan Drive, reporting a burglary in progress. The caller reported that an unknown male was breaking into their roommates bedroom window. The caller reported the suspect used a ladder to gain entry into window.

Officers searched the area and located 35-year-old Juneau resident, Nicholas Lee Morgan. Morgan was located nearby inside a spray painted black Toyota Corolla.
