According to charging court documents filed Friday, a man narrowly missed being shot in the head by a stray bullet in a shooting in a downtown residential neighborhood last week.<\/p>\n

Downtown Juneau resident James Barrett told police that the bullet went through his house\u2019s front window, hit a lamp, then lodged in a wall \u2014 some eight inches from his head.<\/p>\n

\u201cA (Juneau Police Department) investigation later revealed that the bullet came within approximately (eight) inches of Barrett\u2019s head,\u201d an affidavit alleges.<\/p>\n

In an interview with police, Barrett told JPD that he was asleep on his couch at 12:59 a.m. Feb. 24 and was awakened when a friend arrived at his doorstep in the 400 block of Harris Street to drop off some books. The next thing he knew, he said, window glass was spraying inside his home. Some of the shards hit landed on his face.<\/p>\n

Police say the bullet wasn\u2019t meant for Barrett, but for another man on the street with a dog. The alleged shooter, 47-year-old Jose Antonio Delgado, fired the shot from a car when he saw a man walking a dog that he thought was his, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

No one was seriously hurt in the shooting, police and prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Delgado was arrested by JPD Friday afternoon<\/a> and appeared in Juneau District Court Tuesday facing five felony charges. He is charged with first-degree misconduct involving weapons, a Class A felony punishable up to 20 years in prison; third-degree misconduct involving weapons, a Class C felony punishable up to five years in prison; and three counts of third-degree assault, a class C felony punishable up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

Judge Thomas Nave continued Delgado\u2019s bail amount at $20,000.<\/p>\n

Police also earlier arrested the driver of the vehicle<\/a> Delgado was in when he allegedly fired the pistol. Sky Stubblefield, 25, is charged with first-degree aiding and abetting misconduct involving weapons, first-degree failure to stop at the direction of a peace officer and contempt of court for failing to report to jail on a previous case.<\/p>\n

Stubblefield told police that she never intended to take part in a drive-by shooting and was surprised by Delgado\u2019s actions, the charging documents say.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Stubblefield) ran from the police because she did not want anything to do with it,\u201d Assistant District Attorney Amy Paige wrote in the affidavit.<\/p>\n

She is still being held at Lemon Creek Correctional Center in lieu of $10,000 bail.<\/p>\n
