A man wanted for escape from community custody in Washington state has been arrested in Juneau, according to a release from the Juneau Police Department.
Law enforcement officials apprehended Christopher Craig Johnson, 29, at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday in a parking lot located at 2285 Trout Street, the release states. That is the same address as Juneau’s McDonald’s restaurant, in the northwest corner of the intersection of Egan Drive and Glacier Highway.
Johnson was in custody in Washington state after being charged with possession with drugs with intent to deliver, the release states. Washington law enforcement designated him a violent offender, the release states.
According to the release, Johnson fled to Juneau from legal issues in Washington state once before. He stood off with JPD for six hours in March 2009 before being arrested on a Washington state warrant issued for robbery and escape, the release states.
After Saturday’s arrest by JPD officers and FBI agents, law enforcement authorities sent Johnson to Lemon Creek Correctional Center, where he is being held as a fugitive from justice with no bail, the release states.

I'm wondering if this guy is one of the stars of Washington's Most Wanted.
Good job Juneau Police Department!
Christopher's Sister
In-spite of christophers past charges he is a real person and doesn't need to be stereo typed by a couple of people that don't even know him. Keep your slander for yourself because that is defimantion of character. Christopher was in Alaska visiting our grandfather with a degenerative nerve disease and in 2009 he was his primary care taker. My brother and I are all he has and I will soon be there to visit him in the hospital and I hope that I do not meet any igorant people such as the two who commented before me.
@Tiffany
Be with ya fam and don't read in to what Mr. "undisirable" up above has to say about ya fam. This is Juneau, people judge and hate like it's their job.
Let the dogs bark, and they won't bite a thang ;)
I'm from Juneau and live in
I'm from Juneau and live in Sitka now. I've traveled alot and believe people are pretty much the same everywhere. If WA state says he's a violent offender, well, there you go.
DUH read the history
This guy's criminal history tells me all I need to know in making a judgement. Unless the information on his priors is wrong, anyone accepting his past as an indicator of his criminal mindset would be totally appropriate.
My thoughts exactly Islander.
My thoughts exactly Islander. Did you even read the story Tiffany? He is a great guy, and then there’s always that "but"!
So, Tiffany,
He held off JPD for 6 hours in 2009 because he was busy taking care of your grandfather? Really, Tiffany?
Tiffany, All you're doing by
Tiffany,
All you're doing by standing up for this guy is putting the "LOSER" label on you own forehead. The guy is a chump.

I'm sorry about your grandfather's condition. Take care of him.
