A 30-year-old man was indicted Friday for dealing methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine in Juneau in January and March of this year.
Alexander “Axle” J. Robinson-Dunlap is facing multiple felony drug and weapons misconduct charges, according to the indictment.
Robinson-Dunlap sold “a small baggie” of methamphetamine to a confidential informant working with police on Jan. 10 at Bullwinkle’s Pizza Parlor in the Mendenhall Mall, according to an affidavit filed earlier this month by Assistant District Attorney Angie Kemp.
Police conducted another controlled buy at Walmart on Jan. 24 using the same informant, who is not named in court papers. The affidavit states the informant purchased another baggie of meth and one baggie of heroin.
The indictment alleges a third buy involving cocaine took place somewhere in Juneau on March 1. The charges allege that during that drug deal, Robinson-Dunlap was in possession of two firearms — a Hi-Point .45 caliber handgun and a Raven Arms .25 semi-automatic handgun.
Robinson-Dunlap was arrested the next day, March 2, by the Juneau Police Department. He remains in custody on a $10,000 cash performance bond.
Robinson-Dunlap’s next court appearance will be his arraignment in Juneau Superior Court. Judge Louis Menendez is assigned to the case.
The amounts of drugs involved were also not disclosed in court papers. Selling any amount of heroin, a Schedule IA controlled substance, is a class ‘A’ felony, the highest level felony, and can be punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Selling any amounts of methamphetamine or cocaine, Schedule IIA or IIIA substances, is a less serious class ‘B’ felony that can be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Second-degree weapons misconduct for possessing firearms during the commission of such a crime is also a ‘B’ felony.
A grand jury on Friday also indicted another person in an unrelated case for theft.
Ronald R. Wheat, 45, was charged with one count of second-degree theft, a ‘C’ felony punishable by up to five years, for taking property from Fred Meyer valued between $50 and $500. The indictment alleges he has been convicted on two or more separate occasions for similar offenses.
Indictments are formal accusations of illegal activity, and they are not indicative of guilt. The district attorney’s office presents cases to the grand jury each Friday.

Thank you LE's for cleaning up the streets!
No kidding, KP
The smorgasbord of drugs was bad enough, but throw the weapons on top of it and he shouldn't see the light of day for a long, long time.
I have to wonder......Since
I have to wonder......Since he is no doubt going to get some kind of deal, why didnt they just pop him the first time he sold to an informant rather then let him run free selling dope for almost two months? I realize everyone needs some job security but sheesh!

Only 4% go to trial
The odds would suggest he is getting a deal. Probably the best deal in the country; for him, not us.
"Only eight out of 194 felony cases in Juneau - about 4 percent - went to trial in 2007, according to the latest report of state court data. Six of those trials resulted in guilty verdicts, and two in not guilty verdicts."
Here is an Empire story on how "Deals" and "Bargains" work.
As usual, the truth is worse than you might think.

It's a 2009 story but I am sure it is even worse now, just read the paper.
I may be wrong but
I heard that in order to secure a conviction, when working with informants, you must have at least two confirmed "buy" by an informant and three is much better. Whatever they can do to secure a conviction. I think that doing more than one controlled buy reduces the chances of something going wrong with the states case.
the tip or the iceberg
thank you JPD for cleaning up juneau,, it's everywhere,, de-criminalize pot and the meth will go away..
Great places in Juneau
At Bullwinkles in the valley? Where all the tots have their birthday parties? I thought this sort of thing was supposed to happen beside a dumpster in an alley.
At Bullwinkles'
We have it all!
...For a good time in the 'ole town tonight!
I'll stop now.
Yes, where children run around
More of a reason to crack down on all types of drug transactions. Then they walk back to their cars, use the drugs and become serious dangers to every citizen on our streets.
Island bound
All the folks should be put on Admiralty Island for bear food!
A person's a person...
I wish you could all pull your heads out long enough to realize that people make mistakes. This man is an amazing human being who doesn't deserve your horrible words. I am in no way saying what he did was okay in any way, but if a single one of you knew him the way I do, you would know what a caring, loving, loyal person he is. He does need to be punished to teach him not to mess around like this, because apparently us telling him so wasn't enough. But he by no means needs to rot in a cell or be fed to bears.
You can make him out to be a monster all you want, but remember that no good hearted person gets happiness from destroying another human being. He was hurting people by supplying them, yes. But you're hurting him AND HIS FAMILY by tearing him apart like this after knowing only one small part of who he is.
Ugh
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's when people act surprised or hurt by the judgement they or their loved ones receive when they seriously mess up. Deal drugs, get caught, appear in the Empire=people are going to talk about it. Quit blaming the masses for acknowledging the scumminess of dealing hard drugs. Blame the drug dealer....for dealing hard drugs!
I know this man, he is not caring, loyal or responsible
This man was hired by a friend last summer as a deck hand. This man was not not loyal, caring or responsible. He was given many chances and burned more than a few bridges. Having him off the streets is a great thing for the community of Juneau.
Burned bridges
Maybe you know me, alaskachic. My dad is the one that introduced him to the man who invited him on the boat. No, he didn't end up going. Mostly because he was staying home to take care of our nieces and nephew after a family issue. So please, explain to me how this makes him a scum bag?
Um, yeah Bugs
He's an "amazing human being" who deals in meth, heroin, and cocaine while packing weapons. 'Amazing' indeed.
Sorry, but he can learn his lesson in a jail cell for a long time. He brought this on himself.
I agree with Latitude
I hope he is off the streets for a long time.
Amazing human beings don't deal drugs
Family oriented, child loving, grown adults. Do not deal, do, carry, sell, eat, smell or otherwise engage in drug behaviors. And certainly would never do any of thee above around children or families.
This isn't a little mistake. It wasn't a one time accident. It is a lifestyle choice. One that is contrary to anything loving or kind. No one has to deal drugs to make a living. Only those too selfish and lazy to get a real job do it. Only a predator does it. Want to give me a line about how he is a junkie that is why he deals? Grown ups would see their pit fall and be desperately seeking help. Guess what? Rain forest has a sliding scale. NA is here in town and works for those who work it. But there is the rub, you have to work it.
Don't tell me what a stellar human being he is. He isn't. He could be, if he made big changes in himself. But today he is a pukus erectus as my dad would say.
BugsMommy, The guy is a
BugsMommy,
The guy is a worthless piece of walking fecal matter. Get used to it.
I don't see how attacking
I don't see how attacking someone for sticking up for someone they love is going to make Juneau any safer. This guy needs to learn a lesson for sure, jail time, rehab, fines, the works. But everyone has someone they'd go to the end of the world and back for, and when someone's family gets attacked they usually fight back. I thought attacking people for standing up for who or what they believe was something teenagers did on Facebook, but ADULTS on Juneau Empire are much much worse. This guy needs punishment - there is no question about that, but the person with a clean criminal record armed with nothing but love for another human being does not need to be attacked for it.
