Anonymous notes with messages that appeared to be threatening children that were posted on the walls of public buildings have resulted in an arrest.
that the first report of the notes came around 6:45 a.m. Friday morning in a store on Willoughby Avenue in downtown Juneau. That resulted in the police department notifying the Juneau School District about the issue.
“Prior to these reports, a plan for additional police presence had been implemented at the schools due to national rallies/attention to recent school violence incidents,” the department said. Later on Friday, a similar note was found on a bulletin board in the State Office Building, also on Willoughby Avenue.It was then that police said they were able to identify a man who they believe was involved in passing the notes out.
Police said officers and FBI agents found Watley at a home on Sixth Street around 7 p.m. Sunday and arrested him. He was charged with one count of second-degree terroristic threatening and taken to the Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
