Juneau police said a Super Bear Supermarket employee trying to stop a thief Saturday morning was dragged after his arm was caught in the suspect’s car window.
According to the Juneau Police Department, 18-year-old Dylan Barger robbed the Super Bear and was trying to get away when an employee reached into the passenger-side window and tried to take back the stolen property.
Police reported that Barger rolled the window up trapping the employee’s arm, dragged him with the car and punched him several times in the face.
Police said Barger did not use a weapon in the robbery.
The store employee was taken to Bartlett Regional Hospital where he was treated and released.
Witnesses described the vehicle for police and gave them a partial license plate number. Less than two hours after receiving the report, officers found the vehicle and Barger at a home in Mendenhall Valley.
Barger was arrested and faces a felony robbery charge and two misdemeanors, including fourth degree assault.
