Juneau police say they have arrested a man who eluded officers a week ago.

Derick Nathaniel Skultka, 32, was apprehended about 7 o’clock Sunday night after leading officers on a foot chase at the 6600 block of Glacier Highway.

Skultka was wanted on three felonies related to burglary and assault cases.

Last Monday, officers tried to stop Skultka for allegedly speeding in a vehicle. He ran from the vehicle and escaped into some brush between homes in West Juneau. Later that same day, he allegedly crashed a vehicle in the McDonald’s drive-thru.
