One man is being held without bail after officers responded to a reported break-in attempt at a Juneau residence early Saturday morning.
Demetrius Campos, 21, was arrested on one class B felony charge of first-degree burglary, and two misdemeanor charges: one count fourth-degree assault and one count of fifth-degree criminal mischief.
Juneau Police Department received a report at about 2:48 a.m. that one or two people were attempting to break into a residence in the 2500 block of Teslin St., according to a news release.
The release stated that residents reported Campos tried to climb through a bedroom window and that he threatened the residents. A resident, armed with a rifle, reportedly struck Campos in the head with the rifle’s buttstock. Campos allegedly jumped back out of the window and broke the screen from a second window in an attempt to re-enter the residence.
On arrival about two minutes later, officers located a male suspect, later identified as Campos, walking away from the residence through a side yard toward a wooded area, the release said.
Officers told him to stop, but he ran into the woods and hid. Officers searched the wooded area and apprehended Campos several minutes later.
Police took Campos to Lemon Creek Correctional Center, where he was held without bail per bail schedule.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this case.
Police have no other suspects.
