Only manages to get into the empire well after the election?
How odd.... so very odd.
Yep.
No mention of yesterdays armed robbery either. Maybe the Empire believes they are related?
Blotter
@AH HA
The Empire compiles the blotter based on the online dispatches provided by law enforcement, and the one you are referring to was posted by troopers yesterday. I imagine troopers posted it yesterday because that's when the defendant pleaded guilty to the charges, which you can see if you read the above post in its entirety.
Also, if you're interested, here's the website for the troopers' daily dispatches: http://dps.alaska.gov/PIO/dispatch/
@inhuman
The police publish a Daily Bulletin each day on their website, cataloging the cases they worked on the day prior. So the Thursday evening armed robbery won't be published in the JPD Daily Bulletin until later Friday afternoon. That means it won't appear in the Juneau Empire until the Sunday paper (since we don't put out a Saturday paper.)
I did, however, hear about the incident on the police scanner at the time it was occurring, and I wrote an article about it last night after going to the mall and interviewing police and a witness. My story was filed at 8:06 p.m., and it appeared online on the Juneau Empire website at about 8:30 p.m.
You can read that story here: http://juneauempire.com/local/2012-12-13/police-respond-armed-robbery-me...
Police later put out a news release on the incident, with descriptors of the suspect. We updated the story to include that information this afternoon.
Also, if you're interested in breaking news updates, you can follow me on Twitter, @anorangepeel.
I was live-tweeting information about the robbery as well as pictures on that Twitter account.
Thanks for reading and commenting,

ADF&G Employee Poaching
Jim Craig works for ADF&G but no worries. After what Rossi got away with and BOG chair Judkins Craig will probably get a promotion.
