A Juneau man was arrested Monday on an outstanding warrant, with additional charges added after police say he resisted authorities. On Tuesday, he was arrested on felony burglary charges.
Juneau Police Department said in a news release that at approximately 3:57 p.m. on Monday, 60-year-old Anthony C. Perry was arrested at Home Depot by JPD officers on an outstanding felony warrant. Almost exactly 24 hours later, Perry was arrested on first-degree burglary and second-degree theft charges, according to JPD.
The more recent charges stem from an investigation into a reported burglary late last month on Harris Street in which personal items, including Alaska Native regalia were stolen, according to JPD.
The warrant arrest on charges of second-degree burglary was in relation to an incident that took place Dec. 7 at a bar on Front Street in which cash and other items were taken. In addition to the warrant charges, Perry was also charged with resisting arrest, violating conditions of release and three charges of fourth-degree assault on a police officer.
According to a JPD spokesperson, officers were advised that Perry was in the area of Home Depot and while following up on the lead, Perry was recognized at which point JPD initiated contact. As two officers made an attempt to inform Perry of the warrant, Perry walked away from officers and did not comply with their instructions. Two more officers responded and Perry was detained and taken to the Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
Perry had his first felony appearance in court on Tuesday and currently has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Jan. 20.
