Update: The Juneau Police Department said in a release Wednesday morning that Curtis-Collins came to JPD for an interview and was released. The request for assistance in locating Curtis-Collins has been cancelled, and the investigation continues.
The Juneau Police Department is seeking a person of interest in an early-morning assault near a residence in the Lemon Creek area.
According to a JPD press release Tuesday, a caller reported at 12:40 a.m. Tuesday that a man was assaulting another person near a residence on the 1800 block of Northwood Drive.
JPD officers arrived on the scene in four minutes, but the man in question was gone by the time they arrived. An investigation revealed that a 21-year-old man punched a 24-year-old male in the head, then damaged a vehicle belonging to a 22-year-old male. The 21-year-old then fired a shot into the ground from a handgun and fled.
Wilson “Will” Woodrow Curtis-Collins has been identified as a person of interest in the case, described as a 21-year-old white male approximately 5-foot-6 with a thin build and brown hair. JPD posted a picture of Curtis-Collins to its Facebook page, and Curtis-Collins himself commented on the posting, writing “What up” in the comment section.
The public is advised not to contact Curtis-Collins directly, but to notify JPD immediately if he is spotted. The police department’s non-emergency number is (907) 586-0600.
