While serving a search warrant at the Windfall Avenue residence, SEACAD investigators saw 36-year-old Shane Michael Hart outside.

Juneau police were eventually able to arrest Hart and another resident in the area, 29-year-old Mekena Lee Wutzke, although no details were given on how they detained them.
At the Seward Street residence, police were able to arrest 63-year-old Andrew Cousins and 55-year-old Tina Renee Cousins outside in a Toyota Sienna. A fifth person, 56-year-old Deeann Marie Hanson, was arrested in Downtown Juneau. Police said Hanson was a resident of the Windfall Avenue place.
