INFORMATION RELEASE

Subject: Assault
Date: 2013-11-01
From: Sgt. Chris Gifford
Case or Incident: #131101-005
Summary:

On 11-01-2013 at 3:44 am, Juneau Police received reports of an assault in the area of the Airport Apartments, in the 9000 block of Glacier Highway. JPD received a call from one man stating he had been involved in an altercation and had received injuries as a result. Shortly after, another call was received from a man driving a female with what he described as multiple stab wounds to the hospital. Officers responding to the area found two people had been involved in an altercation involving a knife and possibly a baseball bat. All of the people involved in this incident have been identified and interviewed. The two involved, a 37 year-old female and a 24 year-old man, were treated at the Bartlett Regional Hospital for apparently minor injuries. The two were acquaintances, and alcohol was a factor. The investigation into this incident is continuing.

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.
