The complainant reported to police that prior to the assault, he had received a phone call from one of the suspects, 23-year-old Juneau resident, Jasmine Ashley Long, who is known to him. Long told the complainant that she was planning on stopping by his room. About thirty minutes later, the complainant received a knock on his door. When he opened it, Long and two other unknown males entered his room. The complainant said he was punched several times and knocked down. The suspects stole several items from his room, including his wallet, a couple of hundred dollars in cash, credit cards, and the keys to his vehicle. The vehicle, a red Subaru Impreza, was also reported stolen. The complainant sustained minor injuries from the assault.
