Police say they determined everything was safe following a report of a man carrying an AR-style rifle in downtown Juneau.

In an email, JPD Lt. Krag Campbell said there were no charges in connection to the incident and the caller’s description of the rifle was accurate.

Juneau Police Department said in a Friday night social media post that a report of a man carrying an “AR-15 style” rifle in the area of Front Street came in at about 9:30 p.m. Officers searched the area and were able to contact the rifle’s owner and concluded “everything was safe.”

The owner, whose identity was not made public, told police that they had the rifle for work earlier in the day. Police did not share additional information about the rifle owner’s occupation.

The rifle’s owner said they had left it in a vehicle downtown, according to police. The owner asked a friend to remove the rifle from the vehicle and bring it to a nearby residence.

Alaska state laws do not prohibit anyone 21 or older who may legally possess a firearm from carrying it concealed or open, according to Alaska Department of Public Safety.
